Western cultures got many of their ideas about democracy from ancient Greece.
Democracy is a system of government where the citizens exercise power by voting. The first instance of democracy occurred in Athens during the 5th century BCE. It is a form of government that is ruled by the people, and for the people where eligible citizens are involved and vote for changes in their society.
In a representative democracy the citizens elect representatives from among themselves.

Western cultures derived many democratic principles from ancient Greece, specifically from the city-state of Athens. Ancient Greek democracy allowed free male citizens to vote directly on government matters, establishing a system of governance that prioritized citizen participation. This historical context has significantly shaped modern democratic practices.
