Liberal democracy traces its origins and its name to the European 18th-century, also known as the Age of Enlightenment. At the time, the vast majority of European states were monarchies, with political power held either by the monarch or the aristocracy. Advocating for a change and government to be more reflective of the people’s will, supporters for democratic government became knowns as liberals, forever defining the system of government as “liberal democracy”. Britain was the first modern European country to adopt the system.
