Rome first started as republic with fairly democratic principles for its time. its government was structured around the Senate and the Consul. For simplicity sake I will classify the senate as something similar to the legislative branch and the consulate as something like the executive branch though they don't fit these comparisons perfectly. The Senate was made up off nobles from Roman society and it was often a hereditary position with sons taking it up after there fathers they also have to be a male and a Roman citizen to become a senator. The senate made laws and edicts and also elected the consul. The consul was the most powerful position in Rome and you had to be a member of the senate to serve and not have served as the consul prior as it was a position with a term limit of 1 year and instead of 1 there were always two consuls made to check each others powers and so when one was focused on war and expanding the borders of Rome the other could stay in Rome and manage the economy. Roman society was very hierchichal and the transition to an empire was heavily influenced by the struggle between the patricans, Rome's land-holding aristocracy, who traced their ancestry to the founding of rome, and the plebians, the far more numerous citizen-commoners. The system stayed relatively the same until the reign of Julius Caesar who utilized two other men to gain influence who was Crassus and Pompey. Pompey served as co-consul with Ceasar and Crassus served as the financial backer for both there campaigns. To get to the point Ceasar was a brilliant military general and succeeded in expanding the empire greatly which allowed him to give large tracts of land to his legionaries which secured their loyalty to Ceasar personally instead of loyalty to Rome as a whole. Pompey and the senate was afraid that his buildup of influence and power would destabilize the republic so they tried to seize power from him but Ceasar returned to Rome with an army and killed those against him and established himself as Dictator for life which would signal the start of the Roman Empire.
Summary President Biden pleaded for national unity in his inaugural address Wednesday after he was sworn in as the 46th president. Below is a full transcript of his remarks, with analysis from The Fix team. Chief Justice Roberts, Vice President Harris. Speaker Pelosi, Leaders Schumer, McConnell, Vice President Pence, my distinguished guests and my fellow Americans, this is America’s day.
This is democracy’s day. A day of history and hope of renewal and resolve through a crucible for the ages. America has been tested anew and America has risen to the challenge. Today, we celebrate the triumph not of a candidate, but of a cause, the cause of democracy. The people, the will of the people, has been heard and the will of the people has been heeded.
We’ve learned again that democracy is precious. Democracy is fragile. At this hour, my friends, democracy has prevailed1.
1 Throughout the speech, Biden intersperses the idea that democracy and our system of government have triumphed over threats, while acknowledging that victory isn't final. — Aaron Blake
From now, on this hallowed ground, where just a few days ago, violence sought to shake the Capitol’s very foundation, we come together as one nation, under God, indivisible, to carry out the peaceful transfer of power, as we have for more than two centuries.
As we look ahead in our uniquely American way: restless, bold, optimistic, and set our sights on the nation we can be and we must be.
I thank my predecessors of both parties for their presence2 here today. I thank them from the bottom of my heart. And I know, I know the resilience of our Constitution and the strength, the strength of our nation. As does President Carter, who I spoke with last night, who cannot be with us today, but whom we salute for his lifetime of service. Btw which speech their is a lot of speeches
