During what period did the concept of democracy rebirth?

  1. Ancient

  2. Medieval

  3. Renaissance

  4. Enlightenment

The correct answer is: Enlightenment

The other options are incorrect because democracy was not rebirthed during those periods. In fact, democracy was not widely practiced or seen as a viable form of government during those times. The concept of democracy, as we know it today, was first developed during the Enlightenment period when people began to question the absolute rule of monarchs and instead pushed for more democratic principles such as individual rights and popular sovereignty. This marked the rebirth of democracy.
