In the Information articles‚ “How Democratic was the Roman Republic?” written by Alan Ward shows the Roman Empire could not be considered democratic because the rome citizens have no likelihood of being able to cast their vote regularly‚ but a group of unrepresentative voters can easily dominate sovereign popular institution.

I think that this fight between the Patricians and the Plebeians prompted the downfall of the Republic. Nobody was happy with their situation.

To What Extent Did the Collapse Of the Weimar Republic Lead To The Rise Of Hitler and The Nazi Party? During the process of choosing a topic‚ I had many ideas that I wanted to research.
