The three branches include the Consuls, Senate, and Assembly. It is similar to how the United States has the judicial, legislative, and executive branches. The checks and balances kept everyone in equal power.

The consuls were two patricians that lead the government. They were only in office for one year so they wouldn't have to much power. They were administrators and military strategists. They also had the power to veto, or reject, laws or ideas that they thought should not be passed. They lead senate meetings and enforced laws they created. When it came to relations with other countries the consuls had to represent the empire.]]> 2018-10-24 17:58:57 UTC https://padlet.com/isabellashowalter/5eply5gj1au6/wish/296605674 mariahisenhower https://padlet.com/isabellashowalter/5eply5gj1au6/wish/297083201 Like the senate and consuls, the assembly is another branch of Roman government. Like the senate the assembly is another legislative body in Rome. The assembly, or The Assembly of Centuries passed laws and elected consuls and praetors. It was also like the senate in the way which it was also controlled by praticans. ]]> 2018-10-25 17:26:18 UTC https://padlet.com/isabellashowalter/5eply5gj1au6/wish/297083201 isabellashowalter https://padlet.com/isabellashowalter/5eply5gj1au6/wish/297083555 The Roman Government holding a meeting ]]> 2018-10-25 17:26:49 UTC https://padlet.com/isabellashowalter/5eply5gj1au6/wish/297083555 isabellashowalter https://padlet.com/isabellashowalter/5eply5gj1au6/wish/297085192 A site where the Roman government used to meet]]> 2018-10-25 17:29:35 UTC https://padlet.com/isabellashowalter/5eply5gj1au6/wish/297085192 isabellashowalter https://padlet.com/isabellashowalter/5eply5gj1au6/wish/297086335 The Praetors were the ones whose jobs consisted on if whether or not the law was fair and they served as judges in court. If one Praetor was out commanding the battlefield, the other would always be keeping the peace back in town. Unlike all of their other serious jobs, Praetors were also in charge of organizing public games. ]]> 2018-10-25 17:31:21 UTC https://padlet.com/isabellashowalter/5eply5gj1au6/wish/297086335 isabellashowalter https://padlet.com/isabellashowalter/5eply5gj1au6/wish/297090824 Roman government meeting hall]]> 2018-10-25 17:38:50 UTC https://padlet.com/isabellashowalter/5eply5gj1au6/wish/297090824 mariahisenhower https://padlet.com/isabellashowalter/5eply5gj1au6/wish/297091247 2018-10-25 17:39:32 UTC https://padlet.com/isabellashowalter/5eply5gj1au6/wish/297091247 mariahisenhower https://padlet.com/isabellashowalter/5eply5gj1au6/wish/297092452 In the American government, like the Romans, there are three branches that use checks and balances so that one branch won't become too powerful. The three branches are the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. As you can probably already tell these ideas were taken from the Romans. ]]> 2018-10-25 17:41:21 UTC https://padlet.com/isabellashowalter/5eply5gj1au6/wish/297092452 mariahisenhower https://padlet.com/isabellashowalter/5eply5gj1au6/wish/297094967 The executive branch is the head of American government, sort of like the consuls. It is headed by one leader called the president who carries out and recommends laws. He commands the military, directs the government, deals with other countries, is the chief law enforcement officer, and can veto laws by congress, like the consuls. The president also appoints judges. ]]> 2018-10-25 17:45:36 UTC https://padlet.com/isabellashowalter/5eply5gj1au6/wish/297094967 isabellashowalter https://padlet.com/isabellashowalter/5eply5gj1au6/wish/297098597 The Legislative branch is headed by the congress, which includes the House of Representatives and the Senate.
