The first democratic society was Athens, Greece. So democracy began in Greece, even if it wasn't a real democracy. Only free, of-age male nobility could participate in the democratic process. This left out a large section of the populace (women, children, claves, and immigrants) but it was still democracy.

Athens, Greece.
Less than half of the Athenians supported democracy, and it only lasted less than 50 years.

Athens, for free male citizens, which few qualify. Englightment thinkers of France, Germany, and England thought about democracy, etc.

Ancient Greece is regarded as the cradle of democracy - but it was democratic only for the upper classes, and only for men. Women and workers didn't count.

I think Athens, Greece. Like around the time of the golden age.

Athens - although there were many differences, i.e. who could vote, that sort of thing...
