For paragraphs about democracy you should refer to a famous speech. Pericles' Funeral Oration (actually written by Thucydides) is about as good as any, refer to:

The ancient Athenians were the inventors of the political process that evolved into modern democracy (Pericles and Thucydides were both Athenian politicians and military generals).

Google "Thomas Jefferson" if Pericles' speech is too difficult to read.
