They probably were not. Throughout the entire history of Israel and Judah, there is no suggestion of any movement towards democratic rule. The only democracy of ancient times was in Greece, where the people would never have heard of the Ten Commandments. Modern democracy developed in Britain for reasons unrelated to the Ten Commandments, and spread through the United States, Europe and eventually many other countries of the world.

∙ 7y agoThe commandments had nothing to do with the development of democracy. Before they ever existed the ancient Greeks were practicing and creating the democratic government. Democracy is a secular idea on government and not a religious idea. Religions have/are not democratic in nature and demand that it's members follow certain rules, wage war, and have created autocratic dictoral governments.
