The first democracy was called:
A. direct democracy.
In a direct democracy, all eligible citizens have a direct say in the decision-making process. This means that citizens participate in making laws and policies directly, without elected representatives. An example of direct democracy is ancient Athens, where all male citizens could attend the Assembly to debate and vote on laws.
Direct democracy contrasts with representative democracy, where citizens elect representatives to make decisions on their behalf. The Great Charter refers to the Magna Carta, which was a document outlining rights and limiting the power of the English monarchy, rather than being the name of the first democracy. Indirect representation does not directly relate to the concept of the first democracy.
