The ancient Greek city-states and republics practiced democracy, because the ancient Greek city-states were very small, with only tens of thousands of people. Each city-state was relatively independent and could decide its own affairs. As a result, 10000 men * * * decided the events of their city-state. At that time, it was called the democratic era.
