Democracy, meaning 'rule of the commoners' in Greek, is a _________________ system in which citizens can vote for their leaders. In contrast to _________________ or monarchy, it is a system in which the majority influences the ruling elite. The system of democracy was born in _________________ around 500BC, specifically in the city-state of Athens. Athens used to be ruled by kings, but they were overthrown and a _________________ system was established... the first in history, and in the world. This system was unique in that political leaders could be random citizens voted in by their peers. Also, they had a public legislative forum in which all citizens could speak and express their views. However, not all were considered equal even under the democratic system, as women, slaves, foreigners, and people under 20 years old were not granted full citizenship, so they were not allowed to vote or express themselves _________________. Through _________________ history, democracy was usually used in narrow ranges, which were not available to all people, but just for political elites. One example is Frostating, a court in Norway which operated in the 1200s, in which representatives of various regions could come to discuss laws and settle disputes. The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, a European superpower in existence from 1569-1795, despite having a king, also practiced democratic _________________ in parliament. The Commonwealth had a law called _________________ veto, in which laws were only passed if they were unanimously agreed-upon by everyone, and if only one nobleman vetoed it, it could not pass. This would prove to cripple the country in its later years, and displays the fact that it's possible to be too democratic. This same issue would be faced by the United States of America, one of the best examples of democracy in history. The US, while still fighting the Revolutionary War, had a precursor _________________ called the Articles of Confederation. This document did not give the federal government a lot of powe
