Question

The Romans governed by what?

Answer 1

Answer:

Electing representatives and giving them the responsibility and power to make laws and conduct government.

Explanation:

The Roman Republic is considered one of the earliest forms of democracy. Its government consisted of the Senate and four assemblies: the Comitia Curiata, the Comitia Centuriata, the Concilium Plebis, and the Comitia Tributa. (Comita means "Assembly of people")

How it worked: Two consuls were elected each year with the ability to veto the other, and additionally two censors were elected every five years. The majority of people in Rome could vote, however women and slaves were excluded.

Answer 2

The first one (electing representatives) if asked for an example, mention julius Caesar — he was murdered because he was selected to be an emperor for life, not just a short period of time.
