The basic political principles of modern democracy come from ancient Greeks of democratic origin. Due to the sustained impact of that idea, ancient Greece was known as the birthplace of Western civilization. Indeed, the Greeks invented the idea of ​​the West as a distinctive area; they are where they live in the west of the powerful civilizations of Egypt, Babylon and the Phoenicians. Today, we were taught that democracy is the (correct) civilized political system (only). It is the backbone of collective identity in Western imagination; the NATO Charter insists it is an adhesive bonding North America and Europe. Even the influential Athens in the past doubted the cautiousness and effectiveness of democracy, but the contemporary debate of today's mainstream in the United States and Europe is a way of remixing our own oligarchy, There is no tendency to propose bigger help of monarchic power structure. It is a matter of the national constitution.

Democracy was born in ancient Greece, but modern democracy has only recently become recognized as a political ideal. From the 19th century to the early 20th century, democratic and undemocratic government models such as the monarchy, colonial rule, totalitarianism which started in the 1930s coexisted. Totalitism is most closely related to Stalinist Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. Features include unusually high levels of political violence against dictatorship, mobilization, leaders' personal worship, secret or paramilitary police states, and internal enemies or unpopular groups.
