N a democracy, the people are sovereign<span>. This means that the power rests in the hands of the people. A democracy can be either direct or representative. The ideas of democracy originated in ancient Greece, which was made up of many city-states. Each city-state had its own government and leader. Around 500 BC, the city-state of Athens adopted a democratic form of government. All citizens were allowed to vote; but slaves, women, and men who did not own property were not considered full citizens and therefore did not have voting rights. In the 300s BC, the Greek philosopher Aristotle advanced his ideas about democracy, citizenship, and constitutions in a work titled </span>Politics<span>.

In the United States, examples of the concurrent powers shared by both the federal and state governments include the power to tax, build roads, and to create lower courts.
The ancient Roman republic had three branches of government. In the beginning, the legislative branch was the Senate, a group made up of 300 citizens from Rome's patrician class, the oldest and wealthiest families of Rome. It was the patricians, tired of obeying the king, who revolted and threw out Tarquinius Superbus. The Senate was the most powerful branch of the Roman republic, and senators held the position for life. The executive branch was made up of two consuls, elected yearly. These two consuls had almost kingly powers, and each could veto, or disapprove of the other's decision. It is quite possible that the idea of two consuls came from Sparta with its two kings. Praetors were part of the judicial branch, they were elected yearly by the people of Rome, and acted as judges.
