Smyrna
Sparta

Athens
Byzantium

Answer 1

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

Step-by-step 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.

Answer 2

The beginnings and development of democracy are related to ancient Athens, which is considered a cradle of democracy. The basic principles of voting, regardless of class affiliation, democratically elected representatives, the contribution of anyone able to help the state, are all the achievements of Athens democracy. These principles of democracy are also the basis for all modern democracies.

The answer is: Athens.
