Democracy in Greece was first introduced in Athens in 505 BCE by Cleisthenes. Previous to democracy Greek city-states were ruled by an elite few, rich, powerful men, known as tyrants. This Oligarchy limited the power to very few people. Democracy was a government structured to serve the people. All white, male citizens had the right to vote under a democratic democracy. Unlike present democracy, citizens would convene and openly discuss and vote for elections. This type of democracy is called direct democracy. As a society it benefited the majority, which were the middle and lower classes. The middle and lower classes received a voice , giving them power. The upper class, aristocrats, lost power through a democratic government. They no longer received more power because of their social standing
