The social differences in the Roman Republic consist of three classes, including Patrician, Plebeian and Slaves. Patrician were aristocrats who controlled the political system of society. They were the most privileged one because of their wealth and status that put them in the upper social group. Plebeians were commoners and considered to be part of the lower class. They were people of ancient Rome who worked for a living and seen as poor. Plebeians and Patricians maintained their distances from one another. Slaves in ancient Rome played a vital role in the economy. They did manual labour, domestic services, and assisted artisans and in business. Slaves were foreigners as they were prisoners of war.
Well, before the constitution that we all know that defines the United States, there was the Articles of Confederation that was the <em><u>original</u></em> document.
