Key words
Republic: government without a king
Assembly: a group of people who make decisions (like our Tweede Kamer) 
Bills: laws 
Veto: a vote that stops a bill right away 
Consul: most important leader in the republic
Senate: assembly of rich and powerful families

Slide 8 - Tekstslide

How did it work?
The senate voted on daily decisions. The senators debated on each decision.
Consuls lead the army and governed areas far from Rome. 
The two consuls ruled only for a year so they never had too much power.
Not everyone could become senator. 
Normal people voted for consuls, but your vote counted more if you were rich.
