Answer:

Cleisthenes

Cleisthenes was the most important “Founding Father” of Athenian democracy.

He believed that the truest form of democracy was when a group of people were randomly selected to govern the city-state without regard to their status or wealth.

He set up demes so that each part of Athens had representatives in the council.

No, as the current government system has kept everything in order and we have had it for quite a long time, therefore giving us major experience with this form of democracy.
