Rise of ROMAN republic and greek DEMOCRACYWhen democracy was created in Athens there were three other types of governments that were popular, monarchy, aristocrat, and oligarchy. Each of the non democracy governments had one or more rulers that acted in ways that resemble monarchy. The democracy of Athens helped them get a bigger working population with laws that were created by Solon, Cleisthenes, and Pericles. Rome developed its own election system like the greeks did but they all elected laws that will help every one and made a constitution like set of laws named the twelve tables. The romans also let every man participate in elections but only allowed land owners to get powerful positions in politics. The romans also had two social classes the land owners and farmers. most of Roman laws punished people but they didn't kill them they charged them with donkeys based on how many you own.
