      It’s probably a bit arbitrary, but best I can find England’s democracy is younger. Likely due to the king still having certain powers preventing England from being considered a democracy until a good bit after the founding of the US

        Yes, the american democracy is the oldest under a very narrow view of what constitutes a democracy, which basically the republic style yall invented, not even a real democracy anyways.
