HW #2-3 Period 6

Rome Elections Primary Document


Background:

          Ancient Rome was a republic.  It did not have a king, and it was not a democracy.  Only men who belonged to a small group actually held office.  For many years, ordinary people tried to get some voice in government.  They won some rights, but power stayed with just a few.
          Roman officials did, however, need the people’s support.  Like modern politicians, they tried different ways to get it.  This reading is from a letter written in 63 B.C.  In it, Quintus Cicero tells his brother how to get elected.

Primary Document

          Whoever gives any sign of liking you, or regularly visits your house, you must put down in the category of friends.  You must take great pain that these men should love you and desire your highest honor as, for example, your tribesmen, neighbors, clients, and finally your freedmen, yes even your slaves; for nearly all the gossip that forms public opinion emanates from your own servants’ quarters.

          In a word, you must secure friends of every class, magistrates, consuls and their tribunes to win you the vote of the centuries (that elect the consuls);  men of wide popular influence.

Create a Dialogue
O
knight, Sir Gallant, is
faced with a dilemma. He
has the misfortune of being
a vassal to both the Count
of Rouen and the Count of
Amiens, who, as luck would
have it, are about to settle
an argument over a piece of
land on the field of battle.
Both counts send out a call
for their vassals and their
vassals’ knights to assemble
immediately for the
purpose of forming an army.
What is Sir Gallant to do?
Can he choose to support
one count at the expense
of the other? Can he
somehow serve both? How
is he to make use of the
four knights in his service?
He is, in modern slang
terminology, “caught between
a rock and a hard place.”
On the lines opposite,
create a dialogue between
Sir Gallant and his wife,
Jeanne, as they discuss what
he should best do. In at least one page
Write any solutions you may have
to the problem into the
course of their conversation.
