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. provide 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.

both roman empire and the roman republic had periods of instability and definitely caused their demise. they all lasted for the same amount of time. it will be difficult to ascertain which one is successful than the other. if we consider the extent of the roman empire and how it continued from byzantium this was after the collapsing of western empire then we will say that the empire was more successful than the republic.

roman republic came into conflict with the phoenicians after it controlled the italian peninsula which sooner spread to the mediterranean. roman won in the three punic wars and those who fought in the war were forced to abandon their farms and homes which were disrepair and the cost had been expensive. they lost their right to vote and sold all their firms to wealthy citizens. the result of it all was a civil war and later they became slave led by spartacus and it ended with private armies which were generally arising. among them was gaius julius caesar.

republic ruled for short time by triumvirate whereby sooner they collapsed and empire did not last more than the republic but their territorial gains were considered extensive while republic limited itself to mediterranean and peninsula.

extend of empire resulted in the division. the two divisions were western and eastern empires. western empire fall in 476 and eastern empire continued and got successful until the fall of constantinople to turks in the year 1453.

for this case we have the following equation:

we apply distributive property to the terms within parentheses.

subtracting 2 on both sides of the equation:

the correct answer option is: weapons.

explanation:

tensions rose as the two opposing superpowers competed for 'weapons'.

referring to the cold war (1945-1991), the two superpowers, usa and ussr, experienced a phase of struggle and conflict with each other. these two superpowers considered each other as a threat to their survival and thus opted for policies to strengthen their positions.

the two superpowers never went to war with each other directly but competed for weapons to preserve their positions.
