Every free man over a certain age was considered a citizen. (No Women) All citizens were allowed to attend meetings in which new laws, and actions were voted on by all who attended. Citizens were never required to attend, and they would not attend every meeting. Athens was governed in this way, and is considered the first true democracy.
