Question

question 5 of 10
which statement best describes a difference between the political systems in
ancient greece and ancient rome?

a. ancient rome was more focused on protecting individual rights.

b. ancient greece was more committed to democratic ideals.

c. ancient greece was more rooted in the philosophy of absolute
monarchy.

d. ancient rome was more reflective of enlightenment principles.

Explanation:

Ancient Greece (especially Athens) developed direct democracy where citizens voted on laws, while Rome transitioned from a republic to an empire, with less emphasis on broad citizen participation in governance. Option A is incorrect because Rome’s focus was on state stability over individual rights; C is wrong as Greece moved away from monarchy to democracy; D is anachronistic since the Enlightenment occurred millennia later. Thus, B best describes the political difference.

Answer:

B. Ancient Greece was more committed to democratic ideals.
