 <span>Before the Crash in 1929, it was a time of rapid change. Cars were becoming more common, there was probably a baby boom, though smaller than the one after WWII, when the soldiers returning from WWI settled down and started families. 

Commercial radio started about 1920 and by the end of the decade probably a large percentage of the population had a radio. Movies were fairly cheap and 'talkes' started about 1927. 

The upper classes often had children who went to college and college football, fraternities, etc were getting popular. Most of the middle class and poor had high school educations or dropped out to work. A few middle class or poor students went to college on scholarships or by working their way through school. 

The rich and even some of the middle class were buying stocks and making money fairly fast. Corporations were growing and big business was probably seen as a good thing, But when the stock market crashed, many of the wealthy investors lost everything. 

Fashions were changing, women were wearing shorter skirts, make-up and short hair. Smoking, which in years would lead to a huge increase in heart disease and cancer, was getting more common with men and women. 

Prohibition of alcohol sales was in effect, but many drank illegal liquor and "Speak Easies" or illegal establishments that sold liquor were flourishing. Jazz, originally only an African American music was gaining huge popularity with Whites and Blacks, and not only in the US. Some Black entertainers were getting popular, like Louis Armstrong. Movie stars were huge celebrities even then. When movie idol and early sex symbol Rudolph Valentino died in the mid 20's, thousands tried to attend his funeral. (Sound like any recent events?) The Charleston was a very popular dance. Teenaged or young adult women were sometimes called "Flappers". 

It was the era when the "White Picket Fence" dream was popular. Many families were big. Houses were fairly inexpensive for the middle class and often extended families lived together or close together. Of course there were very poor people, including sharecroppers, Black and White in the South. They did not lose much in the Depression in some cases, because they had little to lose to begin with.</span>

Before 509 B.C., a king ruled Rome. Then, the city established the Roman Republic with power divided among 3 branches of governm
Komok [63]

Answer:

There were not "branches" of government in the modern sense with the judiciary separated from the legislature and the executive.  But Ammianus is not correct that the Senate had "all" the power either.  The Senate appointed the Consuls each year (the executives, who effectively took the place of kings) and pretty much all the other officials.  Senate resolutions (consults) had virtually the force of law.  The Senate itself could act as a judiciary over its own members, particularly in cases of treason and such, and the officials they appointed had judicial as well as executive powers in their respective jurisdictions.  

But there were also other, broader assemblies, of the army, the citizens, and the plebs (the membership of which would have overlapped a lot), and each of those had genuine powers.  Formal written laws (leges) had to be voted in by the citizen assembly - they couldn't be simply decreed by the senate, and they had more weight than senate consults.  Perhaps most importantly, the tribunes of the plebs had veto power over the acts of any official, which was a protection of the rights of common citizens against abuse by patricians.  

The whole thing had begun with revolt against the abuses of corrupt kings.  The senate had probably been a council of nobles advising the kings before that.  With the kings gone, the senate took control, and the appointment of consuls was a way to have someone fill the roles kings had played like leading the army.  Over the first couple of centuries of the republic, there was great civil strife between patricians (nobles in the senate) and plebeians (commoners), particularly over burdens of military service and taxation.  The outcome of it was the growth of the plebeian assembly's powers and the tribunes, and the creation of a system that would admit leading plebeians as well as patricians to the senate's ranks through public service.  So it all evolved in response to the demands of the time.<u>(Answer not mine)</u>
