Which country had the first democratic government?

Answer 1

The ancient city-state of Athens (circa 508 BCE) is believed to be the first state to institute a fully-democratic government, although there had been plenty of proto-democratic experiments in other nations before.

The modern era is generally considered to have begun in the 1500s ("early modern"), and by this time, a number of countries had already implemented democratic mechanics into their government. The earliest is sometimes considered to be Poland–Lithuania, which operated under a noble republic (elective monarchy) since 1505.

At the same time, England had already been utilizing a semi-modern parliamentary system since 1215 that would later develop into the Westminster-style parliamentary system seen today in the United Kingdom. However, the English Parliament was far less powerful then, as the ruling monarch still retained most of the authority.

Other well-documented early democratic systems include the Dutch Republic, which was founded when the Netherlands revolted against Spain in 1581.

Answer 2

People in ancient Greece were the ones that created democracy. But there are many different types of democracy. There are many types of democracy, the "pure" democracy that the Greeks made isn't used at all (even by the US). Now a days all countries that say they are a "democracy" aren't a full democracy, they changed some parts of it. Like in a pure democracy the citizens would vote on EVERYTHING while in the US today the people vote on some things like governors and president that best follow what they would vote for normally but when something comes up they don't have the power to vote.
