Democracy had its roots in the city-state of Athens, where a people, tired of being exploited by ts aristocracy, was led by Cleisthenes to form an assembly of the lower classes to make the decisions of government. This idea spread to many other Greek city-states and for a period became the norm. This Greek idea was taken up in Rome where popular assemblies dictated the government decisions.
