Democracy. In a democracy the people can change the government through non violent means. In feudalism there is one controlling power and the people are told what to do and how to live.
In those Greek city-states with direct democracies, they were small enough for the citizens to walk to fortnightly assemblies where they deciided on all issues and the council carried them out between meetings. That worked for a small population and area. Modern countries are much larger and more populous so this just wouldn't work (even Singapore couldn't do it - Monaco could). So we have representative democracies where a few people are elected to a parliament to represent the people. The problem is that they end up representing their own interests and political parties, not their electors, which is causing the decline in modern democracy.
The Roman government was often considered more effective than Athens due to its structured system of checks and balances, which allowed for a more stable and enduring political framework. Unlike the direct democracy of Athens, where citizens voted on every issue, Rome developed a representative system with elected officials, enabling more efficient governance over a vast empire. Additionally, Rome's legal system, including the Twelve Tables, provided a consistent set of laws that helped unify diverse cultures within its territory. This combination of representative governance and a strong legal framework contributed to Rome's longevity and adaptability compared to Athens.
A better government
It was started when Athens and the citizens got in a big disagreement and made up a democracy Democracy started in 508 B.C when an uprising in Athens, Greece led to the "rule of the people" or democracy. We know about the democracy in Athens because of the philosopher Plato.
In a direct democracy, anyone can participate in the government. But in a representative democracy, you must be elected.

So their government would be controled better.
Citizens elect leaders who vote on the issues in a representative democracy, and citizens vote on the issues in a direct democracy. A representative democracy is modern, and a direct democracy is ancient. A representative democracy works better in large groups, and a direct democracy works better in small groups. Citizens' desires are ignored in a representative democracy, and citizens' desires have a better chance of being heard in a direct democracy
For people who are living in a representative democracy, yes. Continuing to live with this kind of government means that the people are better represented and their interests are more likely to be heard depending on who is voted in.

Democracy is a survival in some countries because simply... The people enjoy it. Some people think it's for the better.
because the republicanism is better than pure democracy
