During the period of the Roman Republic there was direct democracy. Bills were voted by the popular assemblies: the Assembly of the Soldiers, the Assembly of the Tribes (voting districts) and the Plebeian Council. The Assembly of the Soldiers also elected the senior officers of state (the consuls, the praetors and the censors) and the Assembly of the Soldiers elected the junior ones (the aediles and the quaestors)

Disputing aristocrats brought on a series of civil wars. Augustus had to solve it by forging a coalition with the senate, which ended democracy.
The Roman road system did not have any influence whatsoever on the spread of democracy. Neither Rome nor the Roman Empire were democracies. Democracy was a Greek concept. There were some democracies in some Greek city-states, but then they collapsed. Democracy as we know it now started to develop some 1,200 years after the Romans.

Limited democracy is the most popular form of government in the world. Various forms of limited democracy include representative democracy (republic) or constitutional monarchy.Full, or direct, democracy was created before limited democracy. Direct democracy was one of the various forms of government present in Ancient Greece, but eventually faded from usage. Direct democracy is when the citizens vote on everything. Democracy was revived by the Roman Republic, where they used limited democracy instead of direct democracy. Here, instead of citizens making the decisions themselves, they elect representatives to make decisions for them. Eventually, the Roman Republic turned into the Roman Empire, where there was an emperor and authoritarian government. Democracy did not appear until the Age of Enlightenment, where political philosophers created new forms of government, most reflecting limited democracy. The first country to become a limited democracy as a whole was Great Britain. Great Britain had transformed from a monarchy into a limited, or constitutional, monarchy, in which it had added a parliament. The first country to become a republic, taking ideas from the Romans and setting the stage for what would become the world's most popular system of government, was the United States.
