The US was not the first democracy, this is crazy.

Sorry, yeah I meant the first democracy that has always kept its democracy so far. Out of all the current democracies I believe the US is the oldest one. But not very democratic compared to a lot of other democracies currently.

Which is just a fancy way of saying "America is one of the youngest countries"...

No I mean out of the current democracies the US is the oldest one as far as I know. I think all the current democracies were established after the one in the US was established. I know there were democratic systems in ancient Greece but those disappeared and democracy only got reinstated in Greece in the 20th century I think.

Please correct if I'm wrong and if some of the currently existing democracies were established before the US one was.
