>In the year 507 B.C., the Athenian leader Cleisthenes introduced a system of political reforms that he called demokratia, or “rule by the people” (from demos, “the people,” and kratos, or “power”). It was the first known democracy in the world.
>This system was comprised of three separate institutions: the ekklesia, a sovereign governing body that wrote laws and dictated foreign policy; the boule, a council of representatives from the ten Athenian tribes and the dikasteria, the popular courts in which citizens argued cases before a group of lottery-selected jurors. Although this Athenian democracy would survive for only two centuries, its invention by Cleisthenes, “The Father of Democracy,” was one of ancient Greece’s most enduring contributions to the modern world. The Greek system of direct democracy would pave the way for representative democracies across the globe.

I'm not seeing the relevance. If you're relating this to the American system, it's even more irrelevant because it was never intended to be a "representative democracy" but a Republic of sovereign states, and the founders knew "democracy" was dogshit anyway and that's why they didn't create one.
Unfortunately the kike faggot Yankee niggerlovers won the civil war and we lost our Republic. Franklin's words were prophetic I guess.
It only survived 2 centuries, the democratic crap
You can also add restrictions, as to who gets to vote as you stated, it will give it more chances to remain viable, long term, and still in the end you have the same problem of vested interests and misplaced incentives driving the entire project over the cliff
The degeneration into a "democracy" was the direct result of a civil war, though, in the case of America. As soon as the covenant of sovereign states was destroyed, the idea of local governance (the "Jeffersonian model") was also destroyed, and that model was designed to combat exactly what you're talking about.
Ultimately the problem is allowing any centralization of power. As soon as that starts it never stops and just gets worse. The wrong side winning the civil war was the beginning of the end.
Was he a joo ???
That's a good question, hold on, let me check...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleisthenes
Cleisthenes (/ˈklaɪsθɪniːz/ KLYS-thin-eez; Greek: Κλεισθένης), or Clisthenes (c. 570 – c. 508 BC), was an ancient Athenian lawgiver credited with reforming the constitution of ancient Athens and setting it on a democratic footing in 508 BC.[1][2] For these accomplishments, historians refer to him as "the father of Athenian democracy."[3] He was a member of the aristocratic Alcmaeonid clan.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcmaeonidae
The Alcmaeonidae /ˌælkmiːˈɒnɪdiː/ or Alcmaeonids /ˌælkmiːˈoʊnɪdz/ (Greek: Ἀλκμαιωνίδαι Alcmaionidai; Attic: Ἀλκμεωνίδαι Alcmeonidai) were a wealthy and powerful noble family of ancient Athens, a branch of the Neleides who claimed descent from the mythological Alcmaeon, the great-grandson of Nestor.[1]

Neleides or Nelides (/ˈniːliɪdz/ NEEL-ee-idz (Nηλείδης); also Neleiades (Νηληιάδης), Neleius, and in the plural Neleidae; Greek: Νηλεῖδαι) was a patronymic of ancient Greece derived from Neleus, son of the Greek god Poseidon, and was used to refer to his descendants.[1] In literature, this name typically designated either Nestor, the son of Neleus, or Antilochus, his grandson.[2][3][4] One notable offshoot of this family line was the Alcmaeonidae.[5]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nestor_(mythology)
In Greek mythology Nestor of Gerenia (Ancient Greek: Νέστωρ Γερήνιος, Nestōr Gerēnios) was a legendary king of Pylos. He is a prominent secondary character in Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, where he appears as an elderly warrior who frequently offers long-winded advice to the other characters.
The Mycenaean-era palace at Pylos is known as the Palace of Nestor, though there is no evidence that he was an actual person.

The Book of Nestor the Priest, originally titled Account of the Disputation of the Priest (Qissat Mujadalat al-Asquf Arabic: قصة مجادلة الأسقف) or its Hebrew textual avatar Sefer Nestor Ha-Komer (written c. 900 CE)[1][2] is thought to be the earliest surviving anti-Christian Jewish polemic.
