In the 18th Century, Democracy:

  • a. Meant, in general, that government should serve the needs of the people as a whole, not just a moneyed elite.
  • b. Had several meanings, some from ancient texts.
  • c. Was feared by some leaders who associated it with mob rule.

In the 18th century, Europe was still ruled by a lot of absolute monarchies where the monarchs controlled the nations as they pleased and nobles were extremely powerful.

Thanks to the Enlightenment however, people had began to advocate for democracy which:

  • To many meant that the government should be taking care of all its citizens not just the royals and the elite
  • Was feared by many rulers as they felt it would take away their power to rule as they please
  • Had other meanings as relating to ancient texts from societies like the Greeks and Romans

In conclusion, democracy in the 18th century might have been a new concept to the Europeans, but it was supported by the commoners and had several meanings.
