Question

The ancient Romans influenced the Enlightenment thinkers and the Founding Fathers. Which of the following events best reflects the republican government of ancient Rome? A town holds a meeting, and every citizen present votes to make a decision. People vote for representatives who will make decisions on their behalf. The president makes a speech about the need to protect rights for all citizens. National leaders decide to split government into three separate branches.

Answer 1

The answer is  People vote for representatives who will make decision on their behalf. This method became the basis of modern democratic government that we use today. In our current system, the people could not directly vote for the regulations. But, the people had the power to appoint the person (representatives) that held their interest.

Answer 2

I think it is when people vote for representatives who will make decisions on their behalf. It wouldn't be the first one because only men were allowed to vote. There was no president during the Rome republic, 2 people had the power at that time. It is true that the government had three branches but they didn't decide something, I don't know how to explain that one.
