The correct answer is Greek city-states.

Democracy (from Greek: Rule by People) is a system of government where the citizens exercise power by voting and electing a government.

During the Classical period ( 5th and 4th centuries BCE ),  Greece was a collection of several hundred independent city-states. The citizens of Athens were the first to develop a system of popular rule under the rule of Cleisthenes. The first democracy was a direct democracy with two features: there was a random selection of citizens to fill administrative and judicial offices, and there was a legislative assembly consisting of all Athenians citizens. All eligible citizens were allowed to vote and speak in the assembly but women, slaves and foreigners, non-landowners and men under 20 years of age were excluded.
