How did the first democracy die?
PJ Vogt
This is part of what's so confusing about how to think about the first democracy. The Athenians gave us Socrates. They also killed him. And every democracy since has had to wrestle with this moment, this moment where the people got exactly what they wanted. And how much were the American founders thinking about Athenian democracy when they designed our democracy?
