the citizens elected fair officials to create laws
No group wrote laws in the Roman Republic. The consuls (the two annually elected heads of the republic) proposed laws which were voted on by the poplar assemblies: the Assembly of the Soldiers and the Assembly of the Tribes (voting districts) and the plebeian tribunes (the representatives of the plebeians) proposed laws which were voted on by the Plebeian Council (the assembly of the plebeians).
It developed into a direct democracy - unlike the representative democracy of today, where the electorate elects parliamentarians to make laws, the electorate in Athens met fortnightly in assembly and voted themselves directly on the laws and proposals put before them.
Originally laws were proposed by the consuls and were voted on by the assembly of the soldiers or the assembly of the tribes. Over time the plebeian tribunes became the main proposers of laws and the plebeian council the main voting body for laws.
The assembly (ecclesia), in Athens held about fortnightly.
In ancient Athens "all of the men voted on the laws for the city.when each man in the city could vote on the laws"what kind of government is this called?
