Among ancient civilizations, the Roman Empire was the first to have true forms of democracy: all of its most important officials (with the exception of the members of the Senate) were elected, and that for a limited period only. Rome even had (elected) officials with wide powers to protect the common people from 'tyranny' by the Senate or other high officials: the Tribunes of the Plebs (=the common people).
"Athens" or "Greece" have the traditional reputation of being the 'cradle of democracy', but that is a 19th century invention. All States in Greece including Athens were ruled by small groups of powerful families (so-called oligarchies) and Athens and Greece never had any democratic institutions.

Some people insist that the U.S. is a republic rather than a democracy to emphasize the system of governance established by the Constitution, which includes representative democracy and a framework of laws designed to protect individual rights and minority interests. They argue that a republic operates under a rule of law with elected representatives, contrasting it with direct democracy, where laws are determined by majority vote. This distinction is often used to highlight concerns about the potential for mob rule in pure democracies, stressing the importance of constitutional safeguards.
