When the limited democracy developed into a radical democracy, where the citizens in fortnightly assembly made the decisions and the coulcil carried them out, this became open to too much influence by the skilled orators, some of whom led the people astray, into a devastating war, and massive loss of lives. After this loss, the democratic process was limited to a more balanced level.
Initially a limited democracy based on landowners, then it was extended to a radical democracy ruled by all adult males who were citizens, who met in assembly and directed government.

No. In a democracy the restriction of freedoms should never be an issue. If this happens, it will cease to be a 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.

The first country to establish participatory democracy is the United States of America. The second country do this too was France. They're not really a true democracy but there isn't any country, today nor has there ever been (except for Greece that had votes for every single issue that came up), with a true, full democracy. Although, the first civilization to have a democracy was Greece. Athens was the first city-state to establish a participatory democracy.

In a direct democracy, each citizen has the right to vote on every decision and issue.
A democracy is a democracy where the whole population votes onan issue (such as a new law trying to be passed) and in a represenative democracy there is a representative that has been elected by the people that votes on an issue. An example of a representative democracy would be the united states because the people of the U.S. vote on a representative for the senate and the house of representatives to vote on law that are trying to be passes.
The fastest answer is Athens, Greece around 510 BC. Athens was a powerful Greek city state that was in control of the city and the countryside neighboring the city. The democracy of Athens was a "direct democracy" in that the citizens voted directly on every issue to be considered by the community. Direct democracy has a number of structural problems but the Athenians didn't have other examples to experiment with. One of the problems, from our modern point of view, is that the qualifications to vote in Athens while attempting to be universal still did not let everyone vote. Over time successful democracies became "representative democracies" whereby near universal vote (kids can't vote for example) produces representatives such as; Congressmen (MC), Senators, Members of Parliament (MP) who represent the citizens wishes (to one extent or another) in a Congress or Parliament.

Volumes could and have been written about this issue. I will only mention one thing, Athens was the cradle of democracy while Sparta was known for its strict military rule. Democracy spread from Greece to other countries but it took the whole of the middle ages to pass before the ancient ideas were actually implemented in full, although the establishment of parliament for example in England can be traced back to Greece in ancient times. Read all about this in history books of ancient Greece.
