Q. Which one of the following countries was first to establish a modern democracy?
Answer: America
Notes: The Constitution of the United States of America, adopted in 1788, provides the world’s first formal blueprint for a modern democracy. It provided for an elected government and protected civil rights and liberties for some. It led to representative democracy that is considered as an essential ingredient of any democracy. The achievement of white male suffrage in the early 19th century has earned the United States the title of “world’s first democracy”. It marked the first time that a large proportion of a national population could elect its representatives.
