Which features of the Roman government limited individual power? Select the two correct answers.

1 answer

The two features of the Roman government that limited individual power are:

  1. Checks and Balances: The Roman government was structured to prevent any one individual from gaining too much power through various offices and councils that had specific roles and could counteract each other.

  2. Republicanism: The Roman system was based on a republican model where elected officials represented the interests of the people rather than a single ruler having absolute authority. This helped to distribute power among various leaders and institutions.

These features helped maintain a balance of power within the government and prevented the rise of tyranny.
