Greece is known as the birthplace of Western democracy.

Explanation:

Democracy appeared for the first time in some city states of Ancient Greece, especially Athens around 500 BC. The small dimensions and the small population of the polis (or Greek cities) explain the possibility of an assembly of the people, of which only free men could be part, thus excluding 75% of the population consisting of slaves, women and foreigners. The assembly was the symbol of Athenian democracy. In Greek democracy there was no representation, government positions were held alternately by all citizens and the sovereignty of the assembly was absolute. All these restrictions and the small population of Athens (about 300,000 inhabitants) made it possible to minimize the obvious logistical difficulties of this form of government.
