What elements of the Roman Republican political and legal system appear present in the systems of modern democracies?
Back in ancient Roman times, the romans had to follow rules. Rules were set up for everyone to follow and obey. They were used as both a peace maker and a peace keeper. Without these rules, there would be chaos. This relates to today’s world a lot. We follow many rules, but one good example of very important rules it the Constitution. We follow all of those rules, and they have helped are society. We know this because even though they were written hundreds of years ago, we stiff obey and follow them today. In ancient Rome, they had the privilege to write new rule, or laws as we call them today, and have them be voted on. If the rule was a good one, it would be made into an official rule and all would have to follow it. One rule that is current in our society is the texting while driving law. Even though it is only a secondary offence, we still must follow it. It was elected a law by the people. This is how our rules and roman rules are alike.
