Polish- Lithuanian Commonwealth (Republic) was the early form of modern democracy. Commonwealth was ruled by Sejm (lower house of parliament), Senate (upper one) and King (also regarded as an independent "house of parliament"). The nobility was just a little part, from 3 up to 10%,of whole "society", that's why the Most Enlighten Republic (as P-L-C was also called) is described as the Nobles-Democracy or Golden Liberty.
The whole problem was that bordering countries were Absolute Monarchies (Prussian Kingdom (later on German Empire) , Russian Empire, Austrian (-Hungarian) Monarchy). Those two systems of governing (Absolute Monarchy and Nobles- Democracy) have a lot of differences.
In P-L-C the taxes were regulated by Parliament, in bordering monarchies mostly by a ruler him/herself, also gathering of armies was depended of "democratic voting" in P-L-C, and independent for the Emperor\Empress in bordering countries.
As we know democracy is fair but also slow way of ruling while tyranny is very efficient and as dangerous.
Unfortunately the world wasn't prepared for any kind of democracy yet. The aggressive manner of bordering countries couldn't be reflected in efficient self- defense.
