Nope, and I'm neither German no Russian. The Piast monarch(ies)y was not a democracy, neither was Poland under the Anjous nor the early Jagellons.

What an effing joke. NO it was not a modern democracy -- how many voting rights did the average peasant have? -- and NO I am not a revisionist.

Too bad the correct answer is not listed on this so-called "poll".

I agree.
Dumb question.;)
 
I regard Britain as having become the imperfect-but-what-were-you-expecting democracy we are today in 1928, and having been close for a while before. To be honest I have an embarrassing ignorance of American history and couldn't tell you when women got the vote in different states, but I wouldn't call America a democracy before civil rights.

New Jersey in 1776 only had property qualifications and the state constitution explicitly referred to voters as "he or she". In 1807 women were stripped of voting rights in NJ via unconstitutional (NJ Constitution, not federal) means.
