<ul><li><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Status mattered</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">In the eyes of Roman law, people were not equal</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Legal status helped to define power, influence, criminal punishments, marriage partners, even dress and where you sat in the amphitheatre</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Only citizens could hold positions in the administration of Rome and the other towns and cities of the empire, only citizens could serve in the legions, and only citizens enjoyed certain legal privileges</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia;">In an age before mass personal documentation, there were few ways to prove who and what you were</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Rome and the empire needed new blood, legal status could change; non-citizens could become citizens; a slave could become a free man. This was upward mobility and could bring real advantages</span></li>
</ul><span style="font-family: Georgia;">My Life</span><br />
<ul><li><span style="font-family: Georgia;">America politics either democratic vs republican nomore social classes status</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Diverse population different types of races it was legal, unlike Roman they had to wait if legal status changed</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Wealth some are still rich then others, many un-employed but can collect if laid off still getting an income</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia;">No slaves </span></li>
</ul><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Similarities</span><br />
<ul><li><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Laws "innocent until proven gulty"</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Citizens of course hane more benefits then those who arent because they will have to go through a procedure </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia;">like an Emporor and his cliq America has the President, Congress, and other people to figure out legal things</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia;">only if your born in own country can get a good high position like the Emperor</span></li>

Both Athens and Sparta had an Assembly, whose members were elected by the people. Sparta was ruled by two kings, who ruled until they died or were forced out of office. Athens was ruled by archons, who were elected annually. As an Athenian, you could get a good education and could pursue any of several kinds of arts or sciences. You could serve in the army or navy, but you didn't have to. On the other hand the Spartan life was simple and focused only on obedience and war. Slavery made this possible by freeing the young men from household and industrial duties and allowing them to focus on their military duties. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia;">I would like to live in the Athens because their life wasnt focused on just military. The Athens were more complex and more freedon with the choices you make in life whether joining the military or not. The Sparta was all about the military and war, the young boys would be trained as soon as their mother deliver, mothers had to exercise to make the young boy healthy. Military life is not my idea for my life therefore the Athens definantly beat the Sparta, i can get way more education than just learning how to kill.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
