The Senate was made up of nobleman, while The Assembly was made up of common working men. The Consuls, were powerful judges or military leaders.

Julius Caesar was a politician and military general from a wealthy Roman family. He conquered Rome and Gaul (France). He governed it for 9 years and soon, he had conquered almost all of western Europe. Julius Caesar gained a lot of power and over time, became a dictator.

    Fall Of Rome Dbq

    A colossal factor that contributed to the fall of Rome is political instability and political corruption. Holding a political office in ancient Rome was said to pay very well. Politicians were not only running for government positions for power reasons, but also for money purposes. This skewed the validity of government leaders, often leading to officials focusing on themselves and their wealth and title, instead of what is best for the people of Rome. The validity of government leaders can be related back to present day America. Government officials now are not always qualified for their job. Instead, one might say they are running for their own gain, or to achieve a certain title, not really caring about the good of America.…

    Should Julius Caesar have been killed? This is a question many scholars, intellectuals, and philosophers have wondered throughout the ages since his bloody death in the year 44 B.C. at the hands of some of his closest friends. This treachery would have most people in outrage; who would dare kill the soon to be Roman Emperor? Most would come to the assumption it was blood thirsty, heartless men who themselves wanted to seize power, but is that really the case? I believe this to be true in that the men were envious of Caesar’s obvious superiority to them in everyway.…
