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
