4/8/14

Today we took notes- here are the notes




  • instead of a king, there were 2 consuls (president/king)
  • Senate and the house of representatives, u.s. is modeled after Roman government
  • Senate runs every 2 years
  • They discovered what kind of government they want to have
  • u.s. went to roman government but gave more power 
  • Plebeians(middle class) and patricians(aristocrats) and slaves

 

 
  • 3 forms of gov in republic - aristocracy(senate/senate), monarchy(consul/president) and democracy(assembly/house of representatives)
  • Senate are elected by aristocracy 
  • Assembly elected by plebeians, service of the middle class
  • If you were elected to assembly - tribune
  • Senate - senator
  • Consul - consul - 2 of them, most powerful people
  • When u.s. formed their gov., they based it off the way the Romans did it
  • If something happened they used a dictator until it passed; only served for 6 months
