The Roman Republic Libertyville High School

Republic Government: Aristocratic Monarchy w/ Democratic element Monarchial elements: Two Consuls Directed government, army Directed government, army Acted as judges, chief priests Acted as judges, chief priests Aristorcratic: Senate Controlled state budget Controlled state budget Could pass laws Could pass laws Served for life Served for life Democratic: People’s Assembly (“Assembly of Tribes”)  Approved / rejected laws  Decide on war  Acted as final court

Republic Government Basis of power Consul Consul possess imperium (right to rule) Need for leadership Senate Senate Members were richest men in Rome People’s Assembly People’s Assembly Provided most of the soldiers Limits on Power Consuls: one year term, each could veto the other Consuls: one year term, each could veto the other Senate: no control of army, needed plebeian as soldiers Senate: no control of army, needed plebeian as soldiers  Assembly: could not suggest laws, often paid as clients by elite

Republic’s Government New Senate 300 senators appointed from patrician class 300 senators appointed from patrician class Hereditary position Hereditary position Advised consuls Advised consuls New popular assembly Elected all office holders Elected all office holders All male citizens were members All male citizens were members Only patricians in the Assembly could hold office Only patricians in the Assembly could hold office

Problems of Republic: Social Class Tension Patricians vs. plebeians – why? Three reasons… #1: Money & Influence - Patricians Lived in cities, where walls protected their property Bought their way out of military service Patrician status inherited Held virtually all political power

Problems: Class Tension #1 – Money & Influence: Plebeians Lived outside cities (farms) When in army, lands neglected During war, farms devastated by enemy, families driven away Returned from war and had to borrow money from Patricians to restart farms

Problems: Class Tension #2 – The Law of debt If plebeians owned land, they generally needed to borrow money to start farm If they couldn’t pay debt, they were arrested, made slave of creditor Creditor usually a patrician Effect: keep poor in poverty

Problems: Class Tension #3 – The Unequal Division of Land All land acquired through war belonged to all people BUT government was controlled by patricians Used public lands for their own benefit Allowed it to be used by other patricians for cheap / no rent Patricians thought of public land as theirs!

Result of class tension? REVOLT!!! In about 450 BC, Plebeians revolted, threatened to start their own city near Rome (& then return and conquer Rome!) Patricians, seeing loss of their army and very likely conquest, made legal changes

Table of Laws (450 BC) Legal code adopted by Senate Canceled all debts and release all debtors from slavery Canceled all debts and release all debtors from slavery Created new public office: Tribune Created new public office: Tribune Two appointed from Plebeian class Given power to veto (over-rule) any patrician office holder who acts unjustly Tribunes could not be arrested Put on bronze tablets near marketplace so all could read law

Roman Citizenship, post Table of Laws Rights of citizens Hold office (patricians) Vote (plebes and patricians) Social intermarriage allowed Own property (all) Enter into legal contracts (become merchant) (all) Responsibilities of citizens Service in army (mainly plebes) Pay taxes (plebes, some patricians)
