A. The government of the Roman Republic preffered peace; the government of Imperial Rome was warlike.
B. The Roman Republic was ruled by elected leaders; Imperial Rome was ruled by leaders who inherited power.
C. In the Roman Republic, there were written laws; In Imperial Rome, there were no written laws.

For my answer I don't think it is A and C, but I am not sure if it is A or B so that is what I need help in. You do not need to tell me the answer if you don't want to I just need help understanding.

I am sorry I ment that I am not sure that it was B or D.
Answered by Reed
If the Empire was ruled by emperors who inherited power, how was that a democracy at all, much less a direct democracy? B and D are in direct contradiction of each other. It has to be one or the other.
Answered by History
So I looked up the meaning for direct and indirect democracy. Indirect democracy: citizens elect representatives to make laws on their behalf. Direct democracy: is a form of democracy in which people decide.

Thank you Reed for helping me.
