Havell is talking about Representative democracy or direct democracy. Athenas or the swiss cantons of Rousseau where direct or true democracies, it can be only coz there was too few people(Swiss) or most of people were slave and cant vote(Athens).
Key element of a modern, capitalist democracy:
- election trough parties (no soviet system).
- Human rights.
- The election should be free, scret and open
- There should be the chance of change the power of hands.
