Marriage and dating in ancient rome?

History

To us in the modern western world, marriage is an occasion for two people to publicly  proclaim their love for each other and their desire to build a life together. Since love had nothing to do with a Roman marriage we are entitled to ask what was its purpose in their eyes. Roman marriage existed for the production of legitimate children who would be heirs to their father’s property. Citizenship was a precious designation given only to those who were born of two citizens legally married to each other. Anyone born outside of a legitimate marriage between citizens was inferior in the eyes of the law. Men were well aware that no matter how important they were or how much they loved life, they were not going to live for ever, and while a rich man might have a bag of coins hidden in a hole in the wall of his basement there was no stock market and no corporate or government bonds producing a regular income with little or no effort on the part of the owner. Most real wealth was in the form of farm land or a commercial enterprise that produced an income only if some one paid attention to it, worked it and provided hands on management. Romans knew that, rich or poor, whatever capital they had accumulated would simply evaporate without an heir capable of not just spending but actually managing the estate. With or without wealth, of course, everyone wanted that all important son to provide the necessary care in old age, since there were no retirement homes or pension plans.

In a totalitarian government the people elect individuals to represent them.
Natalija [7]
The answer is false. A totalitarian government is ruled by a single person or party that expects total obedience by the people. These governments tend to have strict laws and harsh and cruel punishments for those that go against them. The government has control either through seizing control or a false election where only one party can be voted for. A representative government is one in which the people can vote on who they want to represent them. This can be done by voting directly for a governmental official such as a president or governor, or by voting for a person to represent your ideals in the House or Senate.
