By Chalmers Johnson Mr. Johnson's new book, forthcoming at the end of 2003 from Metropolitan Books, is The Sorrows of Empire: Militarism, Secrecy, and the End of the Republic. The collapse of the Roman republic in 27 BC has significance today for the United States, which took many of its key political principles from its ancient predecessor. Separation of powers, checks and balances, government in accordance with constitutional law, a toleration of slavery, fixed terms in office, all these ideas were influenced by Roman precedents. John Adams and his son John Quincy Adams often read the great Roman political philosopher Cicero and spoke of him as an inspiration to them. Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay, authors of the Federalist Papers , writing in favor of ratification of the Constitution signed their articles with the name Publius Valerius Publicola, the first consul of the Roman republic. The Roman republic, however, failed to adjust to the unintended consequences of its imperialism, leading to a drastic alteration in its form of government. The militarism that inescapably accompanied Rome's imperial projects slowly undermined its constitution as well as the very considerable political and human rights its citizens enjoyed. The American republic, of course, has not yet collapsed; it is just under considerable strain as the imperial presidency and its supporting military legions undermine Congress and the courts. However, the Roman outcome turning over power to an autocracy backed by military force and welcomed by ordinary citizens because it seemed to bring stability suggests what might happen in the years after Bush and his neoconservatives are thrown out of office.

The Roman Government Written by Kevin Q., Patrick G. and Jeff S. The Roman government was a republic. In a republic, citizens can choose their leaders. There were two parts to the republic, the citizen assembly and the Senate. Two elected officials headed the two councils, but only served for a year. The two could question each other on any subject. The republic was established in 509 B.C. and lasted nearly 500 years. The difference between the Roman republic and the Greek democracy was that in Greece all men could vote, but in Rome, only men with money and property could vote. The Senate was the most powerful part of the government. At first, all senators were patricians (members of Rome's richest and most important families). To obtain political rights, plebians formed their own assembly, the Concillum Plebus, and named their leaders, tribunes. Plebians largely controlled the assembly. The Romans first code of law was established around 450 B.C. On 12 separate tablets, twelve legal experts wrote down a list of Roman customs about property and punishing people who did wrong. This code was called the laws of the 12 tables. The Roman empire was established around 27 B.C. It had grown from a small republic into an empire that went across three continents. As it grew, the empire was divided into states that was ruled by a governor who collected the taxes and sent the money back to Rome.

25. SVP -Common Law Vs Civil Law Over his vast territory Rome extended her government, her laws, and her language . After the seat of the roman empire had been transferred by Constantine http://www.svpvril.com/comcivlaw.html

Sympathetic Vibratory Physics - It's a Musical Universe! INTRODUCTION. OF THE CIVIL LAW AND THE COMMON LAW. There have grown up in the history of nations only two great systems of law, the civil law of ancient Rome, and the common law of England. All the most civilized nations in the world are governed by either of these two great schemes of justice. Though the civil law and the common law have much in common, yet in many important particulars they are the opposites of each other. In the course of his studies, the student of law finds so much said, in an incidental way, about the civil law, that is calculated to mislead his judgment in regard to the true character of that scheme of justice, that it is important, at the outset of his walks over the fields of the common law, to give him some account of the civil law, and point out in what it differs essentially from the common law. This is a matter of much importance to every student who aspires to a comprehensive and enlightened knowledge of jurisprudence. Rome is the grandest empire presented in the great spectacle of the history of nations. From the limits of a few square miles, on the southeast bank of the lower course of the Tiber, Rome extended her territorial dominions to the Pillars of Hercules on the west, to the Euphrates on the east, to the German ocean and the Grampian hills on the north, and to the cataracts of the Nile and the great African desert on the south. Over his vast territory Rome extended her government, her laws, and her language. To preserve these immense territories, as the natural and legitimate heritage of Rome, was the one great end of Roman policy. And any of the many peoples subject to Roman sway, who attempted to throw off the imperial authority, were treated as rebels against a lawful dominion.

28. David Hume: Of Parties In General Factions subvert government, render laws impotent, and beget the 20, and byEdward Gibbon in The Decline and Fall of the roman empire (177688), chap. http://www.constitution.org/dh/pargener.htm

OF PARTIES IN GENERAL David Hume Rendered into HTML and text by Jon Roland Editing and additional notes based on that of Eugene F. Miller Factions may be divided into PERSONAL and REAL; that is, into factions, founded on personal friendship or animosity among such as compose the contending parties, and into those founded on some real difference of sentiment or interest. The reason of this distinction is obvious; though I must acknowledge, that parties are seldom found pure and unmixed, either of the one kind or the other. It is not often seen, that a government divides into factions, where there is no difference in the views of the constituent members, either real or apparent, trivial or material: And in those factions, which are founded on the most real and most material difference, there is always observed a great deal of personal animosity or affection. But notwithstanding this mixture, a party may be denominated either personal or real, according to that principle which is predominant, and is found to have the greatest influence. Personal factions arise most easily in small republics. Every domestic quarrel, there, becomes an affair of state. Love, vanity, emulation, any passion, as well as ambition and resentment, begets public division. The NERI and BlANCHI of FLORENCE, the FREGOSI and ADORNI of GENOA, the COLONESI and ORSINI of modern ROME, were parties of this kind.

29. Algernon Sidney: Discourses Concerning Government — 3:13 and the ancient roman empire, where no provision was made by law against 6 The romans also had laws during the government of their kings; http://www.constitution.org/as/dcg_313.htm

SECTION 13 Laws were made to direct and instruct Magistrates, and, if they will not be directed, to restrain them. I know not who they are that our author introduces to say, that the first invention of laws was to bridle or moderate the overgreat power of kings and unless they give some better proof of their judgment in other things, shall little esteem them. They should have considered, that there are laws in many places where there are no kings; that there were laws in many before there were kings, as in Israel the law was given three hundred years before they had any; but most especially, that as no man can be a rightful king except by law, nor have any just power but from the law, if that power be found to be overgreat, the law that gave it must have been before that which was to moderate or restrain it; for that could not be moderated which was not in being. Leaving therefore our author to fight with these adversaries if he please when he finds them, I shall proceed to examine his own positions. The truth is , says he, the original of laws was for the keeping of the multitude in order. Popular estates could not subsist at all without laws, whereas kingdoms were govern'd many ages without them. The peoph of Athens as soon as they gave over kings, were forced to give power to Draco first, then to Solon to make them laws

Nelson The Roman Empire At Its Height In many ways, the Roman empire remains the model for Western civilization. The question why the empire fell is an important one because many people believe that the answer might reveal a flaw or weakness in Western civilization itself. This question may or may not have an answer, but we have to understand the nature of the empire before considering how and why it fell. 1. The Roman empire was not unique. It was one of the classical empires of the Old World. These empires Han China, Mauryan India, Sassanid Persia and the Rome arose in the period 200-100 BC, and were characterized by the fact that they were formed by the union of at least two widely disparate geographical regions. Han China had arisen in the valley of the northern, Huang-ho River and had conquered the southern Yang-tze River valley; Mauryan India had expanded from the valley of the Indus River to occupy the valley of the Ganges River; the Persians, inhabitants of mountains and plateau of what is now the nation of Iran, had gained control of Mesopotamia (modern Iraq), the basin of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers; the Romans, inhabitants of a small town in Italy, in the western basin of the Mediterranean, had manages to conquer first the entire western basin, and then the eastern basin of this almost land-locked body of water. 2. Let's consider the differences between the western portion of the empire, centered on the western Mediterranean, and the eastern portion, which included lands that had been deeply influenced by Greek culture.

ANCIENT ROMAN LAW As the empire developed, the emperor stood at the top of the administrative system. He served as military commander in chief, high priest, court of appeal, and source of law. All this power was intensely personal: Soldiers swore their oath to the emperor, not to a constitution or a flag. Personal ties of patronage, friendship, and marriage had always bound together Roman society, but during the empire the emperor became the universal patron. Military loyalty, bureaucracy, and imperial succession were all viewed in personal terms. This concentration of power produced a court in which government officials and the imperial family competed with poets, astrologers, doctors, slaves, and actors for the emperor's attention and favor. The emperor's own slaves and freedmen dominated the clerical and financial posts and formed the core of imperial administration just as they did in the household administration of any Roman aristocrat. Deep ties of loyalty bound Roman freedmen and slaves to their patrons so that they faithfully served even the most monstrous emperors. The emperors took over the Senate's political and legislative power, but they needed the help of senators who had experience in diplomacy, government, and military command. Since the emperor designated candidates for all government positions, senators had no other access to high office except through loyal service. A shrewd emperor could turn senatorial pride and loyalty to the advantage of the empire. By simply allowing senators to wear a broad purple stripe on their togas, for example, the emperor marked them as rulers of the Mediterranean and added to their prestige.

ROMAN EMPIRE - 4 Life in Imperial Rome Social Order Rome was a highly hierarchical society in which different classes or groups had well-defined roles. Historical sources provide far more information about the elite or wealthy people than the poor. Writers of the day generally ignored the stories of those who made up the lower class. Modern historians and archaeologists have tried to reconstruct the lives of ordinary Romans from a variety of sources: occasional references in poems and histories, tombstone inscriptions, and everyday objects that survive from antiquity or that are uncovered in excavations at sites like the ancient cities of Pompeii and Ostia. Elites In Rome the imperial court was the center of aristocratic life with senators, equestrians, and assorted others - like actors and astrologers - eager to impress the emperor and his family. The emperors used ties of patronage, rewarding elites who were loyal with offices and gifts. Senators, equestrians, and other wealthy courtiers had their own dependents who relied on their generosity.

Government in Rome Since you've seen what ancient Rome looked like, now you should learn who made the laws you would have followed if you had lived there. What is an Emperor? Emperors were very important figures in ancient Rome. Although they did not exist at the start of the empire, Romans felt that one man was needed to act as the leader of the empire. The emperor did not have unlimited power because there were other important figures in the Roman government. Caesar Augustus was one of the most famous Roman emperors. Julius Caesar was also a ruler of Rome, but he ruled as a dictator, not an emperor. photo courtesy of "An Online Encyclopedia of Roman Emperors" How was the Roman government organized? Since the Romans did not want one man to make all of the laws, they decided to balance the power of the government between three branches: the executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial branch. The following table will tell you what each branch of the Roman government did. Executive Branch Legislative Branch Judicial Branch The two leaders of the executive branch, the

Home Find About the time of the beginning of the Principate, Roman society was defined sharply into three main classes, which in turn gradually became more defined durnig the empire. For each clas, specific career and public service opportunities were provided. For senators, these included the cheif magistracies and military posts; for the equites (members of the Equestrian class), they included a career in civil or military service of the emperor; for the lower classes, there were limited to private or junior rank in the army. Classes, however, were not closed, and acension from one to another was quite possible. The magistracies were divided into what became known as the cursus honorum , or the course of honors. Generally, one would start at the bottom of the course, with a junior magistracy, and gradually rise through the ranks to the chief magistracy of consul. It did not have to legally be done in this manner, but if often ways. Magsitracies included: Quaestor: Primarily a financial officer. One accompanied each general or provincial governor as a treasurer or paymaster. The minimum age was 31.

Few realized that possession of this huge territory would determine much about the fate of their empires and the legal and political institutions that would govern America. Starting in 1607, the English established 13 colonies along the Atlantic coastline of North America. As the population of these colonies increased, colonists pushed westward seeking more land. French explorers claimed Canada and almost everything else west of the Appalachian Mountains to the Mississippi River and beyond. By the 1700s, the British and French were clashing over their claims for North America.
