Who developed the first democracy?

Answer 1

Ancient Greece - particularly Athens - was where democracy was first introduced. All the male citizens of Athens could vote for their leaders. Although this did not include women or slaves, this was the bulk of the male population of the city.

The word democracy, in fact, comes from Greek: Demos meaning people and kratia being the word for government.

Answer 2

The first civilization to introduce democracy as a form of government was the Greek civilization in Athens and other cities, around 300BC. It is important to note that at time, Greece was not a nation as we think of nations today, it was a collection of city states, each separated by mountains and the sea. Some cities stuck to different methods of government. Greece was later taken over by Rome, which did not have democracy as we know it.

In more modern times, the first recorded parliament in a European-style country was the Altthing in Iceland, around 1000AD.
