In the 1960 Presidential elections, John F Kennedy became the democratic candidate despite his Catholicism.
This was surprising since Anti-Catholic sentiment was pretty high in mainstream American society at the time.
This was also seen as a reason why his presidential win was the closest in the history of the United States with a margin of just 118,000 out of 69 million votes.
Answer:
The Roman Republic was an unequal system where Patricians(the elite) had special rights and power for most of the Republican existence, whereas other people living in Rome were divided between free Roman citizens, non-citizens who had reduced rights, and slaves who has no rights.
The Roman Empire was an empire ruled by emperors that controlled parts of the Mediterranean as well as parts of Asia and Africa, during their rule, Rome was one of the most powerful cities in the world.
I believe there are lots of reasons why the Roman Empire declined but the 3 most important ones are, Government corruption and political instability, Invasions by Barbarian tribes, and The rise of the Eastern Empire, but the one I think is the most important is the first one reason.
