Notes

Today in class we took notes. I am working alone on the project. Here are my notes. 

Main Groups Settled in Italy

• Latins were first people to settle in Rome
• Then Etruscans
• Then Greece

They drained part of the land on the peninsula to make it not as marshy they diverted the flow of the water.

Tarquin the Proud- last king Rome ever had. Didn’t feel like he needed to listen to people. Fairley abusive and didn’t listen to advisors.

Rome elected people to rule for them. United States copied the way Rome did things with government

Republic (had Senates)

1. Democracy
2. Monarchy (2 consuls) Consuls could veto what each other says
3. Aristotracy 

(3 branches of government have direct correlations to the US gov.)

Plebeians-regular people, middle class

Patricians- rich and the aristocrats, owned money and land
