The rights of citizens included voting, jury service, and ownership of property. ● Written codes of laws - begun by Solon in Athens in 594 - 560 B. C. Democracy was extended under Pericles in the 400’s B.C. Orgin Democratic forms of government Class discussion of Ancient Greece and the United States. Use Venn chart Ancient Rome: ● The Roman Republic was founded in 509 B.C. as a representative democracy. In this representative democracy, wealthy male citizens voted on representatives to attend senate meetings and vote on laws that affected the entire Republic. The senators elected two consuls to head the government and manage the army. This system lasted for almost 500 years in the Mediterranean country. ● There were three branches of government in the Roman Republic: the Senate, the Citizen Assembly and Tribunes (a voice for the common people plebeians) and the Consuls or “executive” branch of government. ● Each branch of government had certain checks and balances on the other branches. ● Laws were written on Twelve Tables of Law and posted in the Forum for all to see and read. ● Veto (Latin for “I refuse”) was an option for both Consuls and Senators. ● Jury Trials were modeled on the Greek system and conducted in Ancient Rome. The student will conclude that: Democratic thoughts and concepts originated in Ancient Greece were refined and revised by the Ancient Romans and further refined and influenced by European political philosophers (Locke, Rousseau) and English common law. Give students examples of democratic thought and ask them to identify examples from their own experience which stem from this concept. Have them record their thoughts in chart form.
