Unit One Lesson 6:

Roman Republic


Rationale:   The focus of the Greece unit was basic political systems.   As a transition to our study of Rome (in which we will focus on Rome's use of coercive physical power/its military), we will look at the political/legal structure of the Roman Republic and seek to understand its influence on the structure of the U.S. government.
Directions:   Read Chapter VI, Section I of World History (pages 155-157) and answer the questions below.
