How does millar’s description of the roman government compare to polybius’ description? the following text is from the crowd in the late republic, written by professor fergus millar in 1998. the book focuses on the role of roman people in the government during the final decades of the roman republic. millar is a british historian and professor of ancient history at oxford university. the greek historian polybius in his book the histories written between 167-119 bce, a period of rapid roman expansion. polybius greatly admired the romans, and the purpose of his work was to describe how rome came to dominate the world.

Based on this information, the difference between Millar's description and Polybius' description is the fact that Millar is a modern scholar and based on his description, he is more likely to be objective in his assessment of the Roman Empire. Polybius is an ancient scholar, and a great admirer of the Roman empire. These two qualities suggest that he might be less objective when analyzing the history of the empire.

1) checks and balances- this idea is implemented in the constitution to ensure that no one branch of the federal government gains too much power. for example, the legislative branch(congress) can approve a bill that will then be sent to the executive branch (president). if the president does not like the bill or thinks that it violates the rights of citizens, he/she can veto the bill. vetoing the bill stops the bill from becoming a law. this check on power ensures that congress makes laws that do not violate the rights of citizens.

2) anti-federalists do not want to ratify the constitution unless it includes a bill of rights. the anti-federalists are worried that the constitution gives too much power to the federal government. having a strong central government caused problems when the us was still part of great britain. this is why the anti-federalists are fearful of this type of system.

3) federalists want a new constitution passed because it will fix america's weak political structure. before the us constitution is implemented, the constitution being used is known as the articles of confederation. this constitution has an extremely weak central government, allowing for disunity among the states.

can't do the whole thing, hope this
