ASSEMBLIES
MAGISTRATES
SENATE
All free adult male citizens could participate in assemblies. The votes of the wealthy usually counted for more than the poor. Assemblies elected magistrates and passed laws. This was a form of direct democracy.
Magistrates were elected and often moved from lower to higher offices. There were Quaestors, Aediles, Tribunes of the Plebs, and Praetors. The top two Consuls led the state, the military, and were the highest judges.
The senate were the wealthiest and most well-known older Roman men, often former magistrates. Senators were chosen by an official called the Censor. They helped pass laws, control foreign policy and government money.
