Evolution of Democracy
Main
The Roman Republic
509 BC - 27 BC
Rome was ruled by a representative government in which citizens voted for their representatives.
Direct Democracy in Athens
508 BC - 404 BC
Direct democracy was established in Athens whereby every citizen voted directly for laws.
Feudalism
400 - 1200
Most Europeans were bound by feudal loyalties. Peasants owed their loyalty to a lord, who in turn owed their allegiance to a higher lord or king. The king's power was limited by his obligations to his lords.
The Magna Carta

Parliament

The King of England summoned nobles, knights, bishops, and two citizens from each town in England. This established a precedent for electing representatives to form Parliament, the legislature that made laws in England.

Establishes an absolute monarchy and controlled all aspects of government, from the military to the treasury.
The Glorious Revolution

The US Constitution
