    Well it existed in Ancient Greece!
    They had a system of adult free men casting votes on local matters, and they called this democracy.
    So that was the name of it!

    But whether this system can be stretched to work as intended for an entire country, in modern times is a different story.

    Democracy is a Greek word. The ideal of original democracy is a society where each citizen has at least 3 slaves.
