What are some differences between ancient Roman government and ancient Greek government?
Anciant greece never had a single goverment, each city was a country itself so there where many types of governing systems. monarchy, oligarchy, tyranny, democracy and others. democracy was developed in athens, at some point it started spreading, so many other citys adopted it as well. including non greek citys like rome. when rome conquered greece, it was concidered as a roman provence, and therefor rulled by a roman officer, the greeks themselves did not feel bad as a part of a roman state (hence roman civilasiation was based on the greek one in every aspect) so here is were the development goverments actualy stop in anciant greece, but the main idea of the roman republic was based on athens democracy (this is how it influenced it) in rome the republic (which is another word for democracy actualy), continued being the governing system, but it changed with the rise of ceasars, and you could say it was a sort of mixed system, they had a cenate who continued issuing laws ,but the power was in the hands of ceasar. generaly anciant democracies are really diferent than modern goverments, first of all you had the right to vote and be voted if you was a citizent (women - slaves - none greek / romans were not citizents) in the case of athens , power came from the people, but in rome the ceasar was holding all the power. in contrast with modern democracys that are supposed to represent all people. but modern day goverments are based on the whole idea about democracy which was developed in the renaissance and latter on tge enlightment. the first real republic if i am not mistaken is the french republic. also systems existed like the venice republic (but since the dodge was the ruler, its a mixed system, and just like the english system i am not so sure to be honnest) so basicly all modern day goverments are based on the french model. exept communism which was a model himself and even if it is not concidered a democracy , the power came from the people, so it actualy (theoriticaly at least) is a form of democracy.
That was short answer.
That was not short
Dude please help
Hmm I will try to answer it in a simpler way.
Ancient Rome had a senate, whereas Ancient Greek had direct democracy based in the city-state of Athens and various other city-states that were allied to each other. Basically the difference was that Ancient Rome was a representative democracy, which is also known as an indirect democracy. And ancient Greek governments were direct democracy based on city-states. Ancient Rome in being a representative (indirect) democracy, had a system in which patricians and plebeians were represented in the government but not slaves. Ancient athens and other greek city-states had direct democracy, meaning all members of society were free and had equal power in the democracy, this is one of the reasons why Athens and other city-states of democracy fought against non-democracies that had slavery, because they wanted to spread the idea of direct democracy, in which all people are free and have equal political power. All of greece was not one form of government, Athens fought against the undemocratic Greek city-states like Sparta, which engaged in slavery. However Rome was a city that ruled many lands and nations and did not spread its form of government to the newly conquered lands.
