What was groundbreaking about the development of democracy
a)people were able to govern without using written laws
b)people were governed by councils instead of by an absolute ruler.
c)democracy brought together religious faith and government.
d)democracy balenced power among religious leaders and kings
which letter?

Options A,C and D are not correct. They are generally not necessarily correct about democracy. First, democracy usually means a written law. second, democracy does not have to do with religion. On the other hand, however, democracy does not necessarily mean councils. I still think that B is the best answer since democracy means not being ruled by an absolute ruler although the ruler can be some sort of council or Parliament.
