The Virginia House of Burgesses established in 1619 is considered the first representative assembly (government) in the US and the Americas.This is without regard to the councils of Native Americans that preceded the arrival of the Europeans. Congress in 1988 especially noted the contributions of the Iroquois nations to the concepts of the US Constitution.
The reality was that Pericles steered Athens into a radical democracy where the people met in assembly and made the decisions. They were the government. Between fortnightly assembly meetings, an elected council of 50 carried out the decisions of the assembly. Pericles called himself 'First Citizen' and had to persuade the people in assembly to approve any proposals he put forward. Others also put forward proposals to the assembly in parallel of competition. Pericles won some, lost some. He did not rule. That's what the democracy was all about - demos = people kratos = power - people power.
