For the Greeks (or more particularly the Athenians) any system which excluded power from the whole citizen-body and was not a tyranny or monarchy was described as an oligarchy. Oligarchies were perhaps the most common form of city-state government and they often occurred when democracy went wrong.
Cortes showed up, the Aztecs welcomed him with open arms. They apparently thought he was a god. They gave him all the gold he could ever want, but he decided that that wasn't good enough and so he set up a meeting with Montezuma (their leader). He then captured Montezuma. The Aztecs realized their mistake and beat the Spanish back.

It was one of the first democratic governments in recorded history. Letting people vote on leaders was revolutionary at the time and did lead to things like the roman republic, the american revolution, and the french revolution. It lead to a lot of time being spent on the tragedy of being human or self aware. Which of course lead to things like maybe i deserve to have a say in the government.
Later when the Romans took over they looked at all the Greeks stuff and thought huh? maybe this is a good idea. And the rest of course is history.
Hope this helps
