Roman Government

Which is an example of balance of power?

• The Assembly appoints the Consul

• Tribunes could veto laws proposed by the Senate

• The Assembly had to approve of laws proposed by the Senate

• There are 3 branches of government in Ancient Rome

If a law is vetoed, it means:

• it is passed

• it has to be re-written

• it is rejected

• it is approved, but only with majority vote

What's the defining difference between a Patrician and a Plebeian?

• Its just how the Sorting Hat divided them

• Their income and status

• What they eat

• Whether or not they could participate in government

Why were the Twelve Tables created?

• Because eleven tables was simply inadequate.

• To provide written laws for Patricians to follow.

• To provide written laws for the Plebeians to follow.

• To provide written laws for all Romans to follow.

If two consuls are elected, one Patrician and one Plebeian, this best describes which of the following:

• checks and balances

• separation of power

• the composition of the Senate

• a presidential cabinet

Which of these is an example of balance of power?

• Roman government is divided into Consuls, Tribunes, a Senate, and a Citizen Assembly

• Assemblies had to approve all laws
