30. Question #4 Athenian Assembly Roman Senate
Free adult Athens born male – would likely be a member of Assembly
Relaxed atmosphere is nice. Assembly looks like it belongs to people.
Ostracism is a good idea. Keeps a tyrant from taking over.
Council of 500 is chosen by lot (lottery). Equal chance for all.
The term for the Roman Senate was for life – too long. What will keep you on your toes – no re-elections
Roman Senate
The Athenian Assembly looks like a market place. Kind of out of control compared to the order of the Roman Senate. Wiser decision made in Roman Senate.
Democracy can go too far. It is one thing to give citizenship to many people. (Rome does that to foreigner). However it is another thing to hand out real power to every Athenian. Roman Senate represents not only Republic but the best and wealthiest families in Rome.
People with the most to lose are always the best protector of the state
