ancient Rome functioned as a Republic, which was run by the Senate. This body was in charge of passing laws and collecting taxes, and all senators were Patricians or rich landowners. The second part of the government was the assembly, which was made up of Romans who were elected from the plebeian class.

∙ 8y agoDuring the Republic Rome did not have a centralised executive, like a cabinet or an administration. There were five types of executive officers of state, and they were all elected annually (except for the censors who were elected every 18 months) and operated independently within the remit of their offices. They were the consuls, who were the two heads of the republic, the praetors who were chief justices, the censors, who held the census every five years, enrolled the senators, oversaw public morality and commissioned and funded public works the aediles, who carried out a wide range of administrative functions, and the quaestors, who were the treasurers.
The senate remained an advisory body, this time for the consuls. It was not an elected body. It was composed of patricians (aristocrats) and former executive officers of state. Its members were enrolled by the censors. It was not a legislative body either. It was a body where matters of policy were discussed and recommendations for the consuls were made. The consuls usually followed its advice. This made the senate the most powerful political body of the Republic. Given that the term of office of officers of state was only one year, the senate provided policy continuity. The senate also supervised the treasurers.
Rome had three popular assemblies, the Assembly of the Soldiers which gathered all the soldiers; the Assembly of the Tribes which included all Roman citizens who one assembly for each of the tribes) which were Rome's administrative areas); and the Plebeian Council which was the assembly of the plebeians, the commoners. The Assembly of the Soldiers voted on war and peace and elected the senior officers of state (the consuls, the praetors and the censors). The voting system of this assembly was heavily stacked in favour of the rich. The Assembly of the Tribes elected the junior ones (the aediles and the quaestors). Until 82 BC the Assembly of the Soldiers also acted as a court of appeal for capital punishment cases and the Assembly of the Tribes acted as a court of appeal for other cases. The Plebeian Council elected the political representatives of the plebeians, the plebeian tribunes.
In the Early Republic, bills were proposed by the consuls and were voted on by the soldiers gathered in the Assembly of the Soldiers. Later in the Republic the plebeian tribunes became the main proposers of bills and the Plebeian Council became the legislative body.
