Answer:

Democracy is a form of government developed by the Greek city-state of Athens. The principle of democracy is that everyone gets an equal say in politics and decisions of the State regardless of social class. Back then, Greek voting was in the form of pebbles: black meant no, and white meant yes. Socrates and Plato would later criticize the concept of democracy because of the high chance that it would form to mob rule.
