The Roman Republic was a form of government in which the people would choose the representatives to govern them, which means that the elected the senate and assembly made the laws.
The Athenian Democracy was a direct democracy which means that they were a form of government in which an assembly of ordinary citizens makes decisions. Any male citizen could take part in the Athenian Assembly but women, slaves and people born in other countries were not allowed to participate in government.
The Athenian democracy was a direct democracy, meaning the people themselves voted on bills and legislation. The Roman Republic had a complex system that involved a constitution and a separation of power. The Roman Republic was also ran by the aristocracy and the common people had no control in the political system.
the Romans had a dictator( Caesar)Actually the Roman Republic never really had a dictator. Caesar was the transition from Republic to dicatorship. Roman Republic did not allow the citizens to directly vote on issues instead they elected representatives to vote for them. The Classical Athenian Democracy allowed all free and native born men to vote on their own behalf.
In Atheninan democracy, everyone had a say. In Roman Republic, the people would elect representatives to do the politics for them.
Athenian democracy, Roman Republic, Roman Empire
athenian democracy APEX
Neither - bot had slaves, upper classes and lower classes.
The Roman Empire ruled a variety of peoples over a vast area of North Africa, Europe and the Middle East. The Greek democracies governed their own individual independent city-state.
The Roman Republic did not have much influence on later societies except for the Italian city-states of the High and Late Middle Ages and the Renaissance which referred to it as a model for the development of their systems of self-governance. The society of the last phase of Roman civilisation (the Later Empire) had more of an influence in the societies of Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages. Athenian democracy did not have an influence util the development of democratic ideas in Modern Europe.
America is based on Roman republicanism mixed with Athenian democracy. I think if the Founding Fathers were from other backgrounds, America wouldn’t be based on Greco-Roman governance. If women were part of the founding of America politically, I think America might have ended up as a confederacy like Switzerland. A country were it is hard to pass anything federally, like a declaration of war. This is my opinion.
Ancient Rome never had a type of government where power rested with the people. Such a type of government was found only in the Athenian Democracy.
The Rome was not a democracy, but a republic. A republic (res publica or thing of the people) is a form of government in which those with a vote elect representatives to act for them in a legislative body.The Greeks had democracies in Athens and some of their other city-states. A democracy (from Greek words meaning rule by the people) is a form of government in which those with a vote meet directly as a legislative body to make decisions and pass laws.
It depends on what group you are referring to. The Athenian democracy involved more people in a direct process. Unfortunately, there were so many people who were not allowed to participate as citizens. To be an Athenian citizen, one had to be free-born males, with both parents being Athenian, and must have completed military training. If one met all the criteria, he could vote, serve on juries, and pay taxes. Roman citizens were land owners, but citizenship could be offered to formerly defeated foes after the province had been annexed into the nation.
They are not comparable. The Roman Republic was an oligarchy, not a democracy.
They both partook in orgies.
Novanet--> All male Greek citizens participated in the government.
