<span>1. Etruscan Kings:
The founding of the city of Rome, and the consolidation of power by the domination of neighbouring tribes. The tyranny of the Etruscan kings is what led to the founding of the republic.
2. Republic: The period where Rome's leaders were elected by the citizens of the republic on a yearly basis. This period is where Rome came to dominate the mediterranean through conquest and dominance.
3. Principate: period where Rome was ruled over by single emperors, who often tried to keep the illusion of the republic alive.
4. Tetrarchy: The tetrarchy was the period near the end of Rome's dominance where there were four different leaders of Rome, usually posted in different regions near Rome's frontier in order to defend the empire. The tetrarchy collapsed and eventually lead to the empire splitting into East and West.</span>
The feature is the rule of law. Unlike people, legislature cannot be affected by passion and if law rules then everyone is equal in the eyes of law. If a man rules and has absolute power, they can be affected by various things that might make them abuse their power, and law cannot abuse power on its own.
Read the textbook, "World History, Our Human Story" page 90. In this book, there is a small passage that says,
"Some periods of civilization are considered "classical". These are times when a society makes extraordinary achievements in art, science, religion, philosophy, and politics. Classical ages often exert a strong influence over later generations.
The classical periods of the two great Asian civilizations of India and China gave rise to influential religions and philosophical systems- Buddhism, Confucianism, and Daoism. In India, advances in mathematics and astronomy furthered understanding of the way the world works. Both civilizations (India and China) produced artistic and literary works that served as models for hundreds of years and are still studied and admired today.
Please do not copy this word for word, since this is in a textbook that you should have looked over to help figure out the answer. Good luck to you :D
