The concept of democracy originated in ancient Greece, specifically in the city-state of Athens around the 5th century BCE. Athenian democracy was characterized by direct participation of citizens in decision-making processes, allowing them to vote on laws and policies. While various forms of governance existed prior to this, Athens is often credited with laying the foundational principles of democratic governance that have influenced modern democratic systems worldwide.
