How did the first democracy die?

703.105 - 725.355 PJ Vogt

You became one, at random, and then got to put forth laws which any other citizen could vote on. If this sounds crazy, it has an upside. The lottery system, sortition, prevents the thing we have, a system where we get to vote for our politicians, but those politicians are usually elites, and wealthy people use their money to influence that vote.
