Demokratia
text:
Demokratia is a direct democracy, as opposed to the modern representative democracy. It was used in ancient Greece, most notably Athens, and began its use around 500 BCE. In a participant government, citizens who wish to have a say in government can participate in it. Demokratia excluded women, foreigners, and slaves. It barred between 80 and 90 percent of the population from political rights. The word demokratia comes from δῆμος dêmos "people" and κράτος krátos "power": "the people hold power."
