Additional Notes on Chapter 6

Today in West Civ Mr. Schick and Martha rapped for us. The rap was on Julius Caesar. After that we went over the notes from chapter six. We learned about consuls who were two Roman senators that made crucial decisions on military or government problems. They had two people so that one person didn't gain too much power and they could veto each other. They also limited there time to one year to control the power. If there was an emergency, they had a dictator but he was only in complete charge for one year. Plebeians didn't really have a voice in the law. The Twelve Tables were a set of laws that were written down and posted that have all the laws of the Land. They plebeians eventually got their own assembly where they had a voice.
