Explanation:
Based on the teachings of Roman and Greek scholars, certain issues were raised that would eventually lead to the formation of modern democratic thought. During the Renaissance, there was an "awakening" of ancient thought and individual freedom, and greater autonomy of man from politics and the church. Humanists also promote these ideas. The Enlightenment will also develop through humanism and the Renaissance. Enlightenment thinkers are even more committed to the separation of church and politics, to the separation and independence of citizens. Under the influence of such attitudes, democratic thought will begin to develop. Thus, the process began in the late XIV. century, but was influenced by ancient thought. Eventually it took shape in a modern form during the XIX. century.
