At first, kings ruled Rome. Later, it
became a republic. Rich men could
be elected to the senate. This group
voted on laws. It decided when to go
to war.
All male citizens could vote. But
the upper class had more power. In
27 b.c., Caesar Augustus became
emperor. People were not allowed
to vote anymore.
