Answer:

Explanation below.

Explanation:

PROS:

  • Waged by a legitimate authority - one of the few times war was actually declared using the correct process.

 

CONS:

  • America annexed Hawaii.

  • The US army was not ready to fight in the war. They were understaffed and lacked the skill required to fight.

sergejj [24]

The correct answer is Greek city-states.

<em>Democracy</em> (from Greek: Rule by People) is a system of government where the citizens exercise power by voting and electing a government.

During the Classical period ( 5th and 4th centuries BCE ),  Greece was a collection of several hundred independent city-states. The citizens of Athens were the<em> first to develop a system of popular rule</em> under the rule of Cleisthenes. The first democracy was a direct democracy with two features: there was a random selection of citizens to fill administrative and judicial offices, and there was a legislative assembly consisting of all Athenians citizens. All eligible citizens were allowed to vote and speak in the assembly but women, slaves and foreigners, non-landowners and men under 20 years of age were excluded.
