Today in class we reviewed the Rome ppt. and we heard a lecture from Mr. Schick about Rome once again. I'm fine with lectures, I am just not a fan of the huge note taking, since it makes my pinky hurt. (stupid birth defect..), anyway class was really nice. We compared Rome government and the three branches to the current government in the U.S. I found the differences between the two interesting.
(1 yr.) Consuls --> President and V.P. (4 yr.)
(1 yr.) Praetors --> Supreme Court (lifetime)
(lifetime) Assemblies --> Senate (lifetime)
Roman Twelve Tables --> U.S. Bill of Rights and Constitution
**SPQR: Senatus Populusque Romanum designates any decree or decision made or "The Roman Senate and People"**
Res publica- The people's affair
