Democracy is the wrong word. Republicanism arose, not democracy where everyone has 1 vote that counts equally without there being representatives. Eventually, by 1794, when Robespierre and the Committee for Public Safety came to power every man, and even for a short time women were given the right to vote, slaves were freed, there were some food programs for the poor and even labor laws.
