The concept of Democracy is originated in ancient Greece. Democracy came to Greece by a statesman named Solon who was a Greek leader who made laws that prohibited the enslavement of debtors. Then came the leadership of Cleisthenes who presented a constitution in 508.
The fathers of Democracy were Ancient Greeks. Democracy is a derivation of the Greek word "demoskratos" which means something like "the rule of people." Cleisthenes, a Greek leader, developed this new political system to resolve the many issues in ancient Athens. Under democracy, people were able to elect their rulers. It was Solon who established the pillars of democracy and Cleisthenes dived Athens into 10 Tribes, with a local assembly and a ruler or Mayor.
