Republic- Post 5
I was having a reflection kind of day, and I really think that the Republic is best for Rome. This way no one gets jealous or can blame anyone for having too much power. Everyones' voice is heard and no one can be angry. I was dead during it, but after hearing many stories and reading many books, I am very sad that it is still not in place today.

I am going to have to disagree with you. I think the Empire is better for Rome than the Republic. Rome was best when it was an Empire, not when it was a Republic. Therefor, if Rome was at its high point as an Empire than the best governemnt is an Empire. There is also not as much arguing when there is an Empire because only one person is making the final decision.

I fully agree with you dear Andronicus! Everything was perfect: no one had too much power and everyone was equally represented. I was quite young when the republic was replaced by the empire, but I still wish Rome went back to the republic.

I am going to have to disagree with you. The empire is best for Rome. Augustus is doing a great job as emperor and I have not seen Rome prosper like this in a long time. I do not see how the republic is even close to being this good.
