Slavery makes a society less democratic, because slaves do not enjoy the rights that other members of society have. Democracy is based on the idea that all members of society matter, and should have certain inalienable rights, which is to say, rights that cannot be taken away. A feudal society is based on the concept that people fall into various classes, the nobility, royalty, the common people, slaves, clergy, etc., and that the rights of any person will depend upon the class to which that person belongs. Democracy requires equality, it attempts to give equal rights to everyone. Everyone has one vote, and every vote has equal weight. Therefore having a class of people who have no rights is highly undemocratic.

Does the existence of slavery in a society make it more or less democratic?
Slavery had existed in many modern and ancient civilizations. For the most part, the US Civil War had ended the institution of slavery in all developed nations. Any society that tolerates the existence of slavery is at once a society that has serious flaws. Where slavery has existed, the slaves in a society had few civil rights if any at all. Any civilization which tolerates slavery is not one that can be called "democratic" in the broad sense of that term.

How were slaves treated in the ancient world?
While the practice of slavery was common throughout the ancient world, its character varied tremendously from society to society, even within the same society. Slaves could be treated very poorly, as though they were disposable or mere property; slaves might also be valued and treated as trusted members of the family. Some slaves could earn their freedom, while others could not. Some slaves were forced to perform menial labor (such as in mines or aboard galley-vessels), other slaves worked as public servants and even in the armies of their masters, and yet others served as respected teachers or physicians.
