In the unit review, you wrote a statement in which you explained whether you considered government under the roman republic or government under the roman empire to be more successful, and why. elaborate on that statement by writing an essay in which you evaluate the successes of the roman republic and the roman empire. cite at least two ways in which you consider each type of government to have been successful and two ways in which you consider each to have been unsuccessful. in your conclusion, propose one change for both the republic and empire, which would have fixed the problems of roman society. be sure to explain your reasoning with evidence from the unit and from world history.

Okay, so the roman republic started in 509 bc and they had many successes like taking over the italian peninsula and the victory over carthage in the punic wars.. the roman empire successes were conquering the rest of europe and placing strict laws and maintaining it's land for centuries.. but, they both had their flaws, for the roman republic, it would be the defeat over it's famous rival hannibal and the many slave revolts that destroyed the republic. for the empire is would be the battle of the teutoburg forest in 9 ad which killed 1/10 of the roman army over 16,000 young men died that day.. also the roman empire had serious military defeats but also political defeats many assassinated emperors died and caused much chaos in the based on these facts alone each system has its flaws the empire needed to change its political system and make sure they had a smart leader as emperor and not just the next child in line. for the republic they needed to give the people more rights instead of 300 old guys decided what happens.

Some of the major upsides were that if the emperor was competent and capable, the entire country flourished as his rule to make the entire country more capable and overall better. of course, on the opposite end of this, the if the emperor was incapable of leading the country well, it could cause major issues, as noone really had any power to stop him from what he felt was correct. as well as this, the emperor had final say in the matters of the empire. this meant he was allowed to make sweeping decisions which would effect everything in the empire, and would be reinforced. this to lead the entire group of rome to be aware of what had to be done, due to its incredible amount of land it spanned. however, with all the power, many people felt that they had no say in the empire, and for the most part, they didn't. the decisions that were made fell solely on the emperor and the rest of the aristocracy, meaning that if the lower classes in rome needed something, they had to rely on the good graces of the emperor to allow them it, otherwise, they would not have it. hope this .
