Question

What are three similarities between the Roman republic government and the United States government? What are three differences between the Roman republic government and the United States government? write in 3 sentences

Answer 1

Three similarities between the Roman republic government and the United States government include the principle of a bicameral legislature, the concept of executive checks and balances, and the practice of representative democracy. Three differences between the two governments are the fact that Rome had a highly stratified class-based society whereas the United States has a more egalitarian society, the Roman republic had a limited term of office for officials, and Rome did not have a clear separation of powers like the United States.

Answer 2

Read the quote about women in Roman society.

“[T]he position of the Roman matron was quite different from that of the Greek matron in the time of Pericles. The Roman matron was mistress in her own household. As the husband took charge of all external transactions, so the wife was supreme in household arrangements.”

—James Donaldson, Woman; Her Position and Influence in Ancient Greece and Rome

Based on your knowledge of the role of women in the Roman republic, provide evidence to prove the author’s claim that the position of Roman women was different from that of Greek women. (write in 3-4 sentences

Answer 3

The evidence to support the author's claim about the different position of Roman women compared to Greek women can be found in the historical accounts of the Roman Republic. Firstly, Roman women had more control over their households and were regarded as the mistress and manager of the domestic affairs, while Greek women had limited roles within the household. Secondly, Roman women enjoyed legal rights and property ownership, giving them some degree of independence, whereas Greek women had far fewer legal rights and were largely confined to the home. Lastly, Roman women, particularly those from noble families, had more opportunities for education and participation in social and cultural activities, which were generally restricted in Greek society.
