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)

What is one freedom that americna democracy has that was clearly not recognized in the roman empire?

One significant freedom that American democracy recognizes, which was not acknowledged in the Roman Empire, is the principle of individual political representation through regular, free, and fair elections. In the Roman Empire, political power was largely concentrated in the hands of a few elites and emperors, with limited avenues for broader citizen participation. In contrast, American democracy allows citizens the right to vote for their representatives and influence government decisions, reflecting a fundamental commitment to democratic ideals and individual rights.

Where did the limited democracy began?

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.
