If one consul didn’t agree, the idea did not go through • Consuls came from wealthy families and became governors in the republic after they served the one-year term • Commanders of the army in a time of war SENATE • Made of old patrician males, retired from being judges • Ran the day – to – day operations of the republic; proposed laws and advised the consuls • Took no salary, as the families were often rich already • Held position for life, (which is why many times Senators were murdered) • Nominate the consuls ASSEMBLY • Each free Roman male belonged to an Assembly, made up of patricians (rich families, history in Rome) and plebeians (poorer citizens) • Assembly members elected judges and tribunes to oversee the rights of everyday citizens • Rich people usually had more power and control over Assembly matters • Voted for the consuls based on senate nominations • Could also declare war TRIBUNES • Elected by the Assembly • Would sit in on the Senate and veto any law that went against the rights of the poor (plebeians) • Were often bribed, since they were the only way the poor could have true influences JUDGES • Elected by the Assembly to oversee the actions/laws of Rome, especially the Twelve Tables • Unpaid position, so was often taken by rich patrician men • After retirement, would look for a position in the Senate • Accepting bribes against 12 Tables – could get death penalty ROMAN WOMEN & SLAVES • No votes • No direct influence in government • Slaves usually from conquered regions – often served as gladiators and made money for owners • Women could be honored if connected to wealthy families, but otherwise held only basic jobs outside of the home • Freedmen, or slaves who were granted freedom, usually didn’t have voting rights (this eventually changed later)
