From the Paper:

"Although the roots of the democratic system can be traced to the early history of humanity, American democracy has only recently been accepted by most as the most realistic system, ensuring optimal freedom for individuals while permitting society to exercise self-rule.
The fundamental dimension of America's democracy today was developed during the 17th-18th centuries, with institutional and administrative developments picking up the pace in the mid-19th Century. During the late 19th and 20th centuries, democracy experienced its greatest expansion in America, as the country made some of the significant changes in its history."
