It is called oligarchy.

The Senate.

The Romans did not have a three-part government. The concept of a government with three branches is a modern one. it dates back to the 18th century, nearly 1,300 years after the fall of Rome.

A republican parliamentary democracy means that the power is held by an elected parlament who represents the people of that area.

Tax revenue is the income that the government gains through individuals paying their taxes. Non tax revenue is any other income the government gets that is not from individuals paying their taxes.

what were some of the responsibilities of the governments of early civilization

It was a direct democracy, that is the citizen Assembly met every couple of weeks to make all decisions and pass laws. The citizens were susceptible to leaders good at oratory in influencing the Assembly, and the long term or side effects or self interest of actions promoted by the urgers (demagogues = people-leaders) were often overlooked. After being led into several disastrous decisions, the Assembly passed a law of 'deceiving the people' with the death penalty attached.

The people had limited confidence in the Council. Important actions often had a tag 'the generals will action it' - the generals were still elected from reliable people as the Council was selected by lot, and the citizens did not want to be led into battle by some donkey who was selected randomly by the lot machine - so they learnt from bitter experience to turn to the generals to implement non-military matters as well.

The city reverted to oligarchic control several times in time of crisis in order to get action without endless discussion and dissent. When it finally settled down the people became bored with it and attendance at the Assembly sharply declined, leading the Council to offer inducements to attend, and at one stage having slaves sweep across the agora with a chalked rope to drive the people there to the assembly to avoid being marked and identified as democratic slackers. The democratic discussion-decision system eventually degraded to a vote-only yes-or-no system on measures proposed by the Council.

Democracy as we know it IS "a government that is run by each and every persons own vote". The problem with Democracy is that it is tyranny of the majority over the minority. The U.S. Government was set up as a Constitutional Republic, NOT a Democracy, so that even the minority has a voice, and so the Majority doesn't rule over the Minority. - Pat Riot

According to mercantilism, the metropole would require the colonies to engage in two general behaviors: (1) The colonies were locked into exclusive trade between themselves and metropole and were not allowed to trade with any other nation or colony. (2) No manufactures or complex goods could be made in the colonial territory. As a result the colonies would provide wealth to the metropole by trading their natural resources for less than they would be worth and by buying manufactures for much more money.

Your question is a bit strange. If you think about it, the native Americans, the "indians" were the original owners of the land from time immemorial and the "Americans" (the colonists) stole it from them and killed them in vast numbers by war, and disease. Thus how can the Americans "give up" new lands to the Indians.

If there were any Justice the land should all be given back to the Native american peoples and compensation paid for the theft, massacres and oppression they have suffered. A similar story applies to the native Hawaiian people and the Australian aboriginal people.

You are probably thinking about the early battles between the Federalists who believed in a strong federal government and were headed by John Adams and the states' rights group , led by Thomas Jefferson. George Washington sided with Adams for the most part.

He considered himself a "moderate Republican" and during the Clinton years switched his party registration to Independent
