Attending assembly meetings and voting in elections
Explanation:
Ancient Rome’s government would not have been successful without the citizens who supported it. The Ancient Romans deemed it their responsibility and civic duty to the Republic and Empire to participate in government affairs. In Ancient Rome, a citizens participation included attending assembly meetings and voting in elections. Ancient Roman citizens of wealth believed it was their responsibility to help the Ancient Roman Empire by holding positions in office. In turn, this made them quite powerful locally and provided them with much respect and status among other Ancient Romans.
Voting in Ancient Rome was very complex and not every citizen was allowed to vote as there were limitations depending on what type of citizen one was.
The principle cause of the war was that those states harbored and supported the actions of pirates against American shipping vessels in the Mediterranean Sea.
