Plebeian Council

legal rights, such as being a public official, a landowner, and a merchant, but did not include citizen rights for the remaining population. The devolvement of the old monarchy meant that more people would gaining access to the legal rights and a vested interest in government as a way to participate in Roman society, politics, and commerce. More so, the rise of the plebeians/plebs was excluded from these governmental and legal…

republic, a form of government in which elected official share power (Morey 1901b). However, in the beginning Rome was a aristocratic republic, not a democratic republic, in which only a small group of citizens could sit in public office. This group of aristocrat was the patricians (Morey 1901c). The patricians were the descendants of the old families that made up the early Romans (Morey 1901a). On the other hand, there was another group of people who populated Rome the most, the plebeians. They…

I believe that the Council of Vocations assigned Equality the job of street sweeper because he was already smarter, taller, and more curious about things than everyone else. The Council of Vocations fears that if they were to assign Equality to be a scholar he would be to interested in the work he is doing. His wanting to learn more about science would lead him to find the way that his society and councils run the city, and how they have ran the people for all of these years. Equality would soon…

I traveled to the government center in toledo to attend a meeting with a small group of government students. Along the way, we got lost but eventually found the tall white building that one of our friends described to us as the government center. I found a parking spot and paid the parking meter. We walked the rest of the way in the unpredicted humid May weather. The building was refreshingly cool; the inside was presented in a sophisticated manner. I could not help but feel out of place in my…

so when the Council labels students their profession, he wishes for the Scholar label. Unfortunately the decision didn’t go as planned. After receiving the label of being a street sweeper, Equality 7-2521 finds a tunnel from The Unmentionable Times. This tunnel becomes his “experimentation lab”. In this lab, he re-invents electricity and presents the invention to the Council of Scholars. The Council asks Equality 7-2521 if he made the invention alone. He replied with yes. “‘What is not done…

someone’s beliefs or attitude. This method is also shown in Anthem by the council keeping everyone in a “we” mindset and changing them over originally. One way of brainwashing…

The society limited his own personal creativity causing him to repent towards the law behind the councils backs. Knowing he could be caught and stoned to death in the square didn’t stop him from going to accomplish his dream,to create an invention, and while he knew he probably wouldn’t be accepted into the house of scholars didn’t change his mind at all and he really didn’t seem to care. On page 19, he denied that International 4-8818 take his discovery to the council, because he did not want…

The temperature outside was 73 degrees, but fuses were blowing at Tuesday’s City Council meeting. Continuing business from October’s meeting, councilmember Dale Reynolds requested that a special meeting be held in the interest of homelessness in the city. Having that meeting in the Multi-purpose Room with department heads from city agencies, two council members met on Wednesday to put their heads together to implement a way, to solve the ever growing problem. “Homeless people, whether they…

Just Equality’s image makes him seem conspicuous, therefore he is already to be feared. Second, while he is enrolled in school, Equality contrasts from the other humans because he asks questions and is absolutely brilliant. These qualities cause problems in his life. The teachers and other authorities dislike his behavior, so Equality tries to dull himself down and seem less noticeable. Despite just trying to be like everyone else, the readers know that Equality also is ambitious. Equality…

Being somewhat naïve, I anticipated an immediate response that safety changes were necessary and quick action to implement some. Instead I realized that creating change is difficult and moves very slowly; especially if costs are involved. This was a great example of the checks and balances principle of government; the majority was not completely convinced change was necessary by a single minority voice. If a grass roots movement of many people was utilized instead, I believe the need for changes…
