∙ 9y agoMay of the 2,000 independent city-states experimented with democracy. It was direct democracy - that I the citizens met regularly in assembly and voted on issues.
Some cities limited this to giving yes or no votes to questions presented to them by a ruling council.

This latter method was tried by Athens, but eventually failed when self-interested leaders led them into badly considered actions.
The limited democracy model became the most productive and prevalent one.
