The Athenians developed a Democracy where only certain classes of people could vote.
Starting with monarch, the aristocrats took over and formed an oligarchy (rule of the few). Their oppressive, self-interested rule led to impending civil war and Solon was appointed for a year with dictatorial power to find a middle ground.
This did not last long, so a tyrant Pisistratus was appointed to re-establish a balanced government. After 40 years, a new generation forgot how bad things had been previously and expelled the tyrants.
The Oligarchs tried to grab power back, but Cleisthenes established a limited democracy including small landowners. This lasted 20 years until the Persian invasion forced the return of power to the oligarchs to run the war effort. They hung on to power after the invasion was turned back.
Twenty years later Ephialtes restored democracy, removing the oligarchs from power. They assassinated him for that but his deputy Pericles kept it going and developed it into a radical democracy where the citizens met in fortnightly assembly and made decisions which were implemented by the Council.
Athenian Government was nowhere near as democratically fair as in Australia. Women, slaves, and non-athenian born males couldn't have a say. democratic
