Democracy

Democracy started in Greece. It was flawed democracy: you couldn´nt vote if you didn´t own land, if you were a woman or a salve. I think that democracy was not perfect.

The Roman emperors were not all into democracy. They called people the plebs because that´s the sound they make when they walk over them. I think that they shouldn't have called them plebs.

In Middle Ages, power in Europe rested mainly on aristocracy, the monarch and the church. The power wasn't in the people. I think that the power needs to rest in the people.

In the nineteenth century more countries became democracies and the right to vote was expanded. All white males with citizenship and job, ages 25 and up were able to vote. I think it´s good that the right to vote was expanded.

Nineteenth century: with the advent of the Industrial Revolution, new wealth was created, and concomitantly the middle class became the harbingers of morals, the work ethic, and numerous other characteristics that have become of our fabric of society.
