Voting was created in ancient Athens, Greece, but only certain upper class men were allowed to. They would write their vote on a piece of paper, put the paper in a box, and then afterwards would read the answers. They had a government that was "free", and we have a government that is "representative." In a free government, everyone votes for themselves. In a representative government, people vote on a certain person to "represent" them, and then that certain person would vote on certain laws. So like we vote for a president, and he makes the laws. In Athens, they would all vote on the laws themselves.
