Answer:

voting had to take place within the tribunes of the plebs and in the popular assemblies, but these took place in Rome itself, not outside of the city, and most plebeyans did not have the means to travel to Rome, which meant that they were unable to cast a vote.

Explanation:

This explanation is given, along with others, on the article written by Allen M. Ward, and which was published in the New England Classical Journal, in 2004. The article, titled: "How Democratic Was the Roman Republic" has the purpose of showing that the beliefs that have been historically held about Rome as an example of pure democracy, and a model for others to have formed themselves on, is misguided and not real. In fact, Ward, in his article shows that, although in essence the Republic system in Rome was based on democratic ideals from Greece, in reality, most, if not all of these principles, were linked to lineage, birth, wealth, and position. There was an image given that the people had power, and a say, through their voting in popular assemblies, and that there was a system of check and balances, but the reality was different. One barrier mentioned by Ward in his article, to this marvelous Roman system of voting, which represented democracy, was that the assemblies were people were allowed to vote, had to take place within the city of Rome, and plebeyans tended to live outside of it, so that meant that they could not afford to travel always to the assemblies. This meant that many plebeyans were not able to vote, and thus did not actually have a say in the decision-making process.

Answer: George W. Young who was likely a slaveholder

Explanation:

The text presented is an advertisement that offers a reward to capture Sophia Gordon. About this woman, it is explained she is a runaway (term to refer to slaves that scaped), and also, she is "copper color", which confirms she is a black woman who likely scaped from her slaveholder. Moreover, at the end of the document, the author explains "I will give the above reward", which shows the author of this document is the slaveholder looking for Sophia. Additionally, the name George W. Young was added at the end, which is likely is the name of the slaveholder. According to this, the person who placed the advertisement is the slaveholder George W. Young
