Ever wondered where democracy first took root? Let's dive into the fascinating world of 5th Century BC Athens, a bustling hub of ideas and innovation. However, not everyone had a voice in this new system; women, slaves, and foreigners were excluded from participating in democracy.
The Athenians employed a unique method called sortition to randomly select officials, allowing anyone the chance to hold office-not just elites. Public debate was vital as citizens gathered to express their opinions in the assembly. Despite facing wars and political strife, Athenian democracy's legacy continues to influence us today.
