Roman Republic. 2. Why did some Romans fear Caesar?

History

Stells [14]3 years ago

Great question. A dictator’s powers werepermitted by the Roman Senate — and according to the Roman constitution, for a limited period of time. In theory, a dictator for life would be as powerful as a king; however, because such powers were traditionally granted by the Senate, there was the significance that they could also be taken away by the Senate.

But with a king (that is, “Rex” in Latin), the office of king was in theory granted not by the Senate at all — which was only an advisory body to a king — but by the gods themselves. No vote by the Senate could even challenge the authority of a king. I suppose that by throwing out the Tarquin kings, the Romans had made a statement that they had misunderstood the will of the gods when they had accepted such terrible rulers.

The other difference is that a king passed the kingship onto an heir, that is, a son. It was far from clear that a “Dictator for Life” would pass that office on to a son. So, one (kingship) was permanent; the other was not.

Ironically, when Augustus, the grand nephew of Julius Caesar, became the first true “Emperor,” he ultimately was more powerful than many a king. But because he kept the outward forms of the Republic (such as the Senate) and avoided the dreaded title “Rex,” many Romans felt for a long time they still lived in a Republic.

What are some limits on the legislative branch?
Vinil7 [7]
     <span> 1. The constitution - the legislative branch cannot enact laws that violate the constitution. this limit is kinda limited in that the legislative branch could vote to change the constitution, but it would be extremely difficult and would also need ratification by 2/3 of the states.

2. the president- congress can pass laws, but they are not official laws until the president signs them. the president can refuse to sign a law the legislative branch has passed or veto them. with a super majoiity the legislative branch can override a veto though.

3. the people - the people vote for who is in the legislative branch. if we dont like what they do we can vote in new guys.</span>

First the person will be located in the smokey corners of the building.

 He smells fire as he starts walking out a bit farther from the building.

 The person sees dead bodies but chooses to ignore it.

 He hears the battle cries of the soldiers who are fighting for their lives.

 He touches the side of a dead face that used to be his sisters but the look of it seems as distant memory.

 He then starts thinking if we win this battle we can get: our enemies cargo and retrieve many gifts from those around us for saving their homes and also we will have the honor of all of our enemies being destroyed!

A week after this battle we will be rich and happy! For we will have conquered our enemies and will never have to worry again! Lets defeat them!
