The proudest people are Roman citizens. If you are lucky enough to be one of them, you can admire the whole Mediterranean region and appeal to officials at any level, including the later Roman emperor. Perhaps torture and imprisonment should be omitted from the law Of course, you must also bear the corresponding obligations. If you have some money and are between the ages of 16-60, you may join the army at any time. If you want to be an official, you must stay in the army for at least 10 years. However, the Romans considered it a great honor to join the army.
Nominally, the highest authority is the 100-member Congress. It is called "100 people" because the initial meeting consisted of 100 soldiers. Its role seems decisive: selecting officials, approving or rejecting suggestions, approving the death penalty of Roman citizens, and deciding war or peace. In fact, it is just a puppet, who can only shake his head or nod in the voting and say nothing. Besides, there is a clever trick behind this old-fashioned funny way. Because the order of voting and the amount of election are arranged according to the level of property class. The whole parliament is divided into seven classes, with a total of *** 198 votes, of which the highest-ranking aristocratic knight class and the first-ranking citizens account for 98 votes. The election shall be voted at any time and announced at any time. The result is almost the same: the first two classes have voted, the votes have passed, the overall situation has been decided, and the lower class can only look at the ocean and sigh.
The most common institution is the civilian meeting. This is the place where ordinary people vent their grievances and seize their rights, and it is also the predecessor of the clan meeting later. It consists of 35 tribes, and each tribe has only 1 vote, regardless of wealth. In 287 BC, the Senate was forced to recognize the legislative power of the speech school meeting. The representatives of the clan meeting completely inherited the Roman tradition. They sit in a dangerous position and keep silent. Their only function is to shake their heads. Moreover, most of the representatives are rural people with land, so they are very cautious, gentle and stable.
The most powerful institution is the Senate. Members come from former clan leaders, retired rulers and noble knights. Members are honored for life, and officials are elected only on the orders of their elders. They often meet at the request of elected officials and often happily take their young masters to learn political skills and strategies. Senators have to ask questions about everything, and power dominates the sky, so corruption and abuse of power occur from time to time. But most of them are smart and experienced, and it is their specialty to formulate national policies to control the people.
The most valuable critic is the inspector. They carefully investigate citizens' property status and finely divide citizens' grades and tax payments. The official performance depends on their words, and the elders are also afraid. If officials are extravagant, they will implement a policy: levying a luxury tax. Their perspective covers all levels of society, such as women's honor, children's education and the treatment of slaves. They think their profession is sacred, and at the end of their term, they will solemnly convene citizens to hold a ceremony called fasting.
The highest position is in power. There are two people in power. * * * enjoy the supreme commander and restrict each other. This election is full of mystery. On the eve of the election, officials in charge of the election will watch the stars at night and submit the names with auspicious signs on the stars to the general assembly for election. At the election meeting, candidates wear white dresses and often deliberately show their secret scars on the battlefield. As soon as he was elected, he took office on the auspicious day of March 15 and led the people of the whole country to hold sacrifices in a big way. Being in power is famous, but its main work is nominal: assembling troops in wartime and convening elders and representatives of committee of 100 at ordinary times.
The most democratic political role is the tribune. Tribune officials are as sacred as gods. Their slogan is earth-shattering and shameful: protect the people and oppose the government. The tribune is only controlled by the clan meeting, and all other organs are unimpeded. As long as he thinks it is necessary, a "I object" can make all relevant resolutions go up in smoke. His sacred house is open day and night and is willing to accept any citizen in trouble. But in the end, history mocked this respectable people's guardian: over time, people's protection officers and elders can communicate with each other. Tribune officials who have expired usually become elders naturally.
The last trump card is the Diderot system. Dick's multi-system system will play a role when foreign enemies are surging, civil strife is everywhere and other systems fail to operate. One of the two rulers was elected by the Senate as Diderot. In this way, the ruling body changed and became a monarch. He manipulated almost all people and property. But their term of office is not long, limited to 6 months or 1 year. Most people can still obey the rules, except Sura and Caesar.
The earliest written law in history is the Law of Twelve Bronze Tables, which is an epoch-making legal progress in Rome. In the past, there were still a lot of tribal customs in Roman law, which were naturally dominated by priests. Law is often regarded by priests as a symbol of talent and status, and it is played in mystery. The bronze table method completely clarified this fog and gave the law a true and clear face. Later, the correct legal procedure was announced, and the priest's patent right was greatly reduced. In 280 BC, Corkenna began to teach Roman law in public. Soon, just as children in ancient China recited the Four Books and Five Classics, all children in Rome were required to recite the bronze notation. These have a lot to do with the Romans' law-abiding and strong personality.
The most successful military organization in history is the Roman army. Its martial spirit can be called a model of the world, and it has truly realized "all the people are soldiers." Roman youth received war education from childhood, and they found the beauty of art in bloody battles. They spent 10 years in the army. Their food units are amazing: bread or porridge, vegetables, sour wine and little meat. The heroic Romans served the world enthusiastically with such a vegetarian menu. There is a real episode here that is incredible: Caesar's army was dissatisfied and complained when it had to eat meat because of lack of food. This ascetic army finally conquered the whole Mediterranean region with its cruel and powerful toughness and fanatical patriotic enthusiasm.
