How was the ancient Roman family organized?

History
1 answer:
Arturiano [62]4 years ago
7 0

Answer: In ancient Roman families, the father had complete control over all members of the family.

Roman society was essentially based on the family as the fundamental pillar of society, and within it men, the father of the family, exercised totalitarian control over all its members. Thus a patriarchy was exercised, in which the father of the family (called pater familias) had absolute power over it.

The powers of the pater familias as head of the house varied. The word of the pater familias was considered irrevocably final. According to the archaic law of the twelve tables, the pater familias exercised the vitae necisque potestas - the power over life and death - over the members of the family. Under certain circumstances he was allowed to kill his children, his slaves or his wife. However, this right was restricted by social control.

Yakvenalex [24]

The correct answer is D) the process by which Congressional representatives are allocated to the states.

The articles of the Constitution explicitly outlined the process by which Congressional representatives are allocated to the states.

The Articles of Confederation are considered to be the first written Constitution of the United States. After the Declaration of Independence, the Articles served as the first form of a national government. The Articles were written in 1777 and were ratified until March 1781. The Articles granted sovereignty to the states and they were the ones who could collect taxes. On the other hand, the Articles established a weak central government in the hands of Congress.

The other options of the question were A) the process by which slavery is to be abolished. B) the responsibility f Congress for declaring war and commanding the military. C) the protection of individual rights to practice any religion.
