The Greeks

The Greek words demos and kratis mean rule of the people or democracy. Democracy originated in Athens around 508-507 BCE.
Pericles believed that the power of Athens was in the demos, the free common people of Athens. That did not include foreigners, women, or slaves. At this time, the military of Athens was entirely lower class people, and Pericles wanted Athenian citizen to raise up to defend the state.
The concept of democratic government - our word comes from the Greek words demos = the people and kratos = power : power to the people
