A strong central government sets a foundation for how a civilization is supposed to run. Rules, values, and order are all contributors to a community’s governmental structure to make it run smoothly. These factors allow the people and government officials to sustain and avoid falling apart. The main reason that civilizations collapse is because of the failure to maintain a government, without corruption, which usually leads to poor decision-making based on the leaders self interests. One civilization that had first hand knowledge of what a weak central government looked like was Ancient Macadonia.

Impressive, dominant, and powerful all describe the mighty Roman civilization. Rome, a city in Italy, easily became one of the most successful Ancient European Civilizations. This city was founded by Romulus, who created the city after he and his brother were raised there by a wolf. Rome lies on the Tiber River, which helped the city grow in numerous ways. As this civilization became more powerful, they gained control of many other cities and countries.

The Roman people, a whole, were able to create a system of government that would last for five hundred years. The Roman Republican government was strong but was not strong enough and would eventually crumble like the empire itself and be replaced with the “Imperial Government”. However there were many things that made the Roman Republican government great, so great that the future would model their governments of Rome’s. The United States would model their government off of the Roman Republic, to form the democracy that we know today.

As Rome became independent from the Etruscan ruling, its government walked away from having a monarch and transformed into a Republic as a way to avoid the tyranny that many times comes with an absolute autocrat. Rigorous precautions were taken from the start in order to keep the power balanced. Moreover, the structure of the government was meant to be resilient to bad judgment. The structure of the Roman Republic with its government and law provided for a more just system.

I believe that the Roman Empire was mostly a democracy. If you look at how they ran their government with three branches, the Senate, the Consuls, and the Assemblies you can see that they were run by the people. Although they did have some trouble with their constitution in my opinion Rome was more of an exact variation of democracy not a true democracy.

Some policies and institutions of the Roman Republic were useful to help them succeed in conquering first Italy and then the Mediterranean world. Before of the institution of the republic, the romans were a monarchy since their beginning and they were basically a pastoral people. Rome suffer several changes and improvements under the control of the Etruscan kings. The Etruscan were civilization settled north of Rome in Etruria, and they once had control over almost all the Italic peninsula. The Etruscans influences in Rome were profound, they transformed Rome from a pastoral community to a city (91). The Etruscan built the street and roads that help the development of temples, markets, shops, streets, and houses. They basically brought urbanization to Rome. It is fairly to say that the Rome republic was a fusion between the elements of the Etruscan civilization and the Rome elements. The combination of the different political institutions and policies made the Romans succeed in their conquest territories.

Between approximately 509 BCE and the third century CE the Roman empire continually expanded and became one of the largest in history. While this expansion was due to many reasons, not the least of which was greed, to a great extent it was made possible because of Rome's overwhelming military and its combination of a democratic and republic government.

The Greek democratic and Roman republic governments each had their own positive and negative aspects making them similar, yet exclusively different. Both have had tremendous influences on governments in our modern world. Rome was a republic where the leaders were chosen through voting, while Greece practiced a more direct democracy in which the citizens participated in the crucial decision-making within the government. This paper will attempt to diagnose the fundamental similarities of each government coupled with the not so obvious differences. Based on the evidence from each type of government, it is clear that each were similar and different in numerous ways, in particular the way each government

Some people think that ancient Roman is a democratic society but some are not. Personally, I think that the ancient Rome is a democratic society. In this essay, we are going to discuss about the democracy of ancient Rome. To know the democracy of the ancient Rome, we first need to understand its structure and base on it to identify the ancient Rome is a democratic society or not. In order to deeply interpret the structure and democracy of Rome, there are some aspects we need to know, including social development, economic aspect, political development, and military development.

The Roman Republic was a “democratic” republic, which allowed first citizens to vote, and to choose their governors in the senate (Hence, their consuls). However, it was a nation ruled by its aristocracy, and, consequently, the entire Republic`s power was concentrated in a few individuals. Furthermore, the Senate was controlled by Patricians, which directed the government by using wealth to buy control and power over the decisions of the senate and the consuls. This situation aroused the inconformity of the people; as result, a civil war took place in the Republic (destroying it), and then the Roman Empire was born.

Remember those times when your parents said to never talk to strangers? And because you were a good daughter or son, you obeyed what they said. However, what happens when you’re older and talk to strangers that are adults, expecting them to be mature and filled with righteous behavior, and figure out that you were wrong and now find yourself abducted from everything that you ever knew.
