The beginnings of democracy were seen in Athens around year 400 B.C.

Explanation:

Approximately around 594 to 321 BC, in the Athenian polis there was a democratic form of government. It is recognized as the world's first democratic system. Any citizen had the right (and even the obligation) to participate in the work of the National Assembly. As noted, in the heyday of Athenian democracy, about a third of citizens simultaneously held one or another state post.

Ancient Greek democracy was a limited democracy of only free citizens, leaving without political rights to slaves and women, who constituted the vast majority of the population.
