Originally the province of petty kings, then taken over by the aristocracy, the necessity of persuading the citizens to turn out to defend the state progressively meant that they had to be listened to in an assembly.
The assemblies gained more power in some cities, with a radical democracy developing in Athens and some other cities where regular popular assemblies discussed and made decisions, directing a council on implementation of policy and other operative decisions.
This experiment lapsed from time to time when serious problems arose, and the council would take over to rectify the failings of the democracy's less rational efforts. Eventually the novelty of democracy waned, and citizens were simply given yes/no votes on motions prepared by the ruling council.
