none really other than internal structure - they were both based off the idea that we should be ruled by philosopher kings not the general populous
The Greeks invented the idea of democracy. However, their concept of democracy was different. Nowadays we have indirect democracy, which means that the people elect representatives of the people and it is them who vote on bills. The Greek had direct democracy, which means that it was the people themselves, gathered in the assembly of the people, who voted on bills. Demorcacy means power by the people in Greek. Both the Greeks and the Romans had the concept of citizenship and the idea that citizens had rights. During the Roman Republic and in the Greek democracies, this included the right to vote. It has to be noted that not all Greek states had democracies and in that other states (such as kingdoms, oligarchies and tyrannies) there was no voting. During the period of rule by emperors which followed the Roman Republic the people no longer voted and there was absolute rule by emperors. During the Roman Republic there was also the power of veto. The idea for American veto system came from the Romans.
the word democracy derived from an ancient greek term
Ancient Greece and Rome both influenced the democratic development of England and America; even more largely, western civilization as a whole. The invention of democracy by various Greek city-states was one key contribution of Greece, while the republican government of Rome, along with Roman implementation of an extensive legal system, provided another set of powerful influences.
The differences between the Eastern Empire and Western Empire is their languages and foods they eat. The Western Empire spoke Italian. A Eastern spoke Greek.
No. The Ancient Greek use to wear Chitons while the Romans wore Toga. Visually you can see a difference between these two garments as well.
Democracy is started in Greek, Athen Democracy is started in Greek, Athen
Republic and democracy are two different things. A Republic can be a democracy, just as a constitutional monarchy today can be a democracy. Democracy existed in the Roman Republic, as it had three different assemblies of the citizens (Centuriate, Tribal, Plebeian). Athens went through phases - monarchy, oligarchy, limited democracy, radical democracy.
First of all, we should note that only Athens and a few other city-states were ever democracies. The vast majority of Ancient Greece was ruled by monarchies or oligarchies and not by elections. However, the difference between Athenian democracy and the Roman Republic was that, in the former, all of the citizens voted on policies, whereas in the latter, only elected representatives voted on policies. (The difference was between direct democracy and representative democracy.)
They also permitted homosexuals.
Chaotic difference!!!! When greek people had democracy and speaking about philosophy, American people were hung from the trees!!!!
In Greece democracy meant power by the people. In democratic Athens the citizens gathered in the assembly of the people made all the decisions and voted on laws. The executive was there to carry out the will of the people. The Roman Republic instead was an oligarchy. Although the people could vote on laws and elect the officers of state, the most powerful political body was the senate, whose senators were not elected and were members of the oligarchy.
Macedonia was an ancient Greek kingdom on the northern Greek peninsula of Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic Greece that is now a northern province of the Hellenic (Greek) Republic. The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia is a Slavic Republic in the southern Balkans, with a mixed ethnic identity that was founded after the break up of communist Yugoslavia in 1991.
The U.S. government is a federal republic with a system of checks and balances between its branches, while Ancient Greek government varied across city-states but commonly included forms of direct democracy, oligarchy, and tyranny. The U.S. government is structured on a constitution, whereas Ancient Greek government often operated without a written constitution.
Pericles strengthened the greek democracy
The Rome was not a democracy, but a republic. A republic (res publica or thing of the people) is a form of government in which those with a vote elect representatives to act for them in a legislative body.The Greeks had democracies in Athens and some of their other city-states. A democracy (from Greek words meaning rule by the people) is a form of government in which those with a vote meet directly as a legislative body to make decisions and pass laws.
None. Apart from a few people, the Romans were never interested in the Greek concept of democracy. It was alien to their tradition and to the ancestral customs which were very important to them. The conservative elites this concept would have been subversive.
Answer this question…Voters elected representatives in the Roman Republic. In the Greek direct democracy, voters themselves enacted laws and policies.
