The consul (in Latin consul) was the highest ranking magistrate of the Roman Republic. The position was annual and collegiate, and two consuls were elected each year among citizens over forty-two years of age. Its task was the direction of the state and, especially, of the army in campaign.

In this way we can see the similarity with the image of the president of the USA of today. We can say that both carried out a similar task, to carry forward the executive power of the nation.

Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act

Explanation:

Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act is also known as US Tariff Act of 1930. It was a legislation to raise the import duties so the American farmers and businesses could be protected. The legislation got its name from Willis Hawley of Oregon and Reed Smoot of Utah.

Smoot was a senator from Utah and chairman of the Senate Finance Committee while Hawley was chariman of House Ways and Means committee. It was most harsh protectionist tariff in the country's history and raised the import tax by 40 percent.
