We developed the world's first democracy. We had our own courts and a system of citizenship; we had a well defined class system in which the best position to have was to be either a citizen (free, male, 18+, whom completed their military service) and/or a member of the assembly (ruling body). We even had our own [|democratic system].// Much of the ideas that are present in our democracy are present in democracies in the modern era.
