Greek Democracy
In 507BC, Democracy reared its head in Athens.
This was a direct Democracy so that each eligible
citizen had his own vote in all important
decisions. The General Assembly would meet and men would
vote. Free speech and equal rights
among citizens were encouraged but women and slaves were not
considered citizens.
