treating people justly and justifiably. In Greco-Roman law the defendant had
the right to guard himself, although deprived of money he was left defending

or a restricted democracy. Rome started as a kingdom and then turn into a
republic – in the first place, aristocratic only but then merchants got voted,
and after much widespread anxiety the people were embodied by the Tribune. Furthermore,
any Roman citizen could vote, a major concern at that period.
