They may of had elected officials but still were governed by kings.

fisrt democracy was in Athens around 500BC and there was no king
also democracy is a greek word.

from what i remember, they had elected officials by the 6th century bc, to avoid aristocracy

_Richard_ 03-06-2009 06:01 PM
but i guess we're talking about republic..

slavdogg 03-06-2009 06:09 PM
i dont see anything wrong with that statement.
US is the oldest modern world democracy, simple as that.
Europeans can argue all they want, the fact remains 2000 years passed before european countries became democracies again.

ChubbyChecksRob 03-06-2009 07:34 PM

When did women and black people get the right to vote?

Having an elite who are allowed to vote is not really a democracy. IMHO.

Look at the recent US Presidents to see what Americans have done with democracy. :1orglaugh

Include epic fail picture here. What is bullshit :)
