In "How Democratic Was the Roman Republic?," Ward argues that the Roman Republic flatly failed the litmus test for a democracy, countering modern historians who claim otherwise. To support his argument Ward describes the mechanics of the Roman government and how Rome's political machine kept members of a wealthy ruling elite in control of the Republic through undemocratic voting arrangements and other high-handed tactics. As always, we welcome and encourage submissions to CTCWeb of a wide range of materials for the benefit of the education community, http://ablemedia.com/ctcweb. CTCWeb serves millions of educators, students, and other users in over 100 countries. Sincerely, Wendy Owens CTCWeb Editor-in-Chief ################ Wendy E.
