In the prime years of the Roman Republic, a case can be made for the Senate making most of the political decisions.
made policy decisions
Roman society was divided into the patricians (the aristocracy), the equites (equestrians) who were bankers, money lenders, merchants and investors in shipping and mining, and the plebeians (the commoners). there were also slaves and freedmen
The Roman Republic was a form of government in ancient Rome where elected officials represented the people and made decisions on their behalf. Canadian democracy, on the other hand, is a modern system where citizens elect representatives to make decisions on their behalf in a parliamentary system. The key difference lies in the time period, structure of government, and societal norms that shaped each system.
Athenian Democracy is often considered more democratic than the Roman Republic due to its direct participation model, where eligible citizens could vote on laws and decisions in assemblies. In contrast, the Roman Republic had a representative system where elected officials, such as senators, made decisions on behalf of the citizens, limiting direct citizen involvement. However, the Roman Republic allowed for a broader representation of classes and a more structured legal system. Ultimately, while both systems had democratic elements, Athenian Democracy emphasized direct citizen engagement more than the representative nature of the Roman Republic.
Fair is a flexible word. Both democracies had their good and bad points. But i both, the assemblies of the citizens made decisions carried out by the Senate/Council. Sometimes bad decisions were made, and the citizens brought 'unfairness' on themselves.
The Roman republic was established to rid the people of a one man rule. They preferred to be governed by a consensus.
The government of the Roman Republic.
The legislative body in ancient Rome used to be called the Roman Senate. It was responsible for making laws and decisions that governed the Roman Republic. The Senate was made up of Roman aristocrats and served as an advisory council to the consuls, who were elected leaders of Rome.
Each had assemblies of the citizens which made decisions on significant issues, which decisions were implemented by the council/senate.
Decisions are not taken, they are made. Financial managers obviously make decisions about MONEY. Where to spend it and how much and why. Business owners are typically the financial manager of a company simply because they want to make money.
The Roman Republic was formed in 508 BCE, and lasted until 27 BCE.
