6 OUTLINE OF ROMAN CONSTITUTIONAL HISTORY I MONARCHY (traditional dates, B.C.E.) A. KING. Possessed absolute imperium (executive, military and judicial power) and functioned as the chief priest of the state religion. B. SENATE. Advisory council of elders. Elected new king and gave advice when requested. Originally it was probably composed of the heads of families (paterfamilias) of the leading clans (gens). C. ASSEMBLIES. (1) Comitia Curiata. Earliest Roman assembly. Made up of ten curiae (wards) from each tribe. Conferred imperium upon the new king and approved laws. (2) Comitia Centuriata. Originated during Late Monarchy, but reached full development during the early Republic (see below). Ratified declarations of war and peace. II. REPUBLIC (circa B.C.E.) A. SENATE. Now composed of all ex-magistrates. Although legally an advisory body to the magistrates, its power and prestige gradually increased until it became, in effect, the supervisory organ of the state: (1) Assigned duties, or provincia, of the magistrates. (2) Approved legislative proposals before submission to assembly. (3) Authorized the size of armies through draft quotas. (4) Supervised the treasury, rate of taxation and coinage. (5) Conducted foreign policy. (6) After the Gracchi period, issued Senatus Consultum Ultimum (SCU), a form of martial law that suspended civil rights and empowered the consuls to take extraordinary action against enemies of the state. B. MAGISTRATES. Administered the government. They were elected by the Roman people. (1) CONSULS. The two consuls were the supreme civil and military magistrates of the Roman state. Elected annually. Since they had equal imperium, they could veto each other as well as all other magistrates, except the tribunes or a dictator.
7 (2) PRAETORS. Administered justice and could also be appointed governors of minor provinces by the Senate after their terms of office. (3) AEDILES. Served as assistants to consuls. Administered public buildings and streets. Provided public games at their own expense. (4) QUAESTORS. Supervised the archives and treasury. Served as assistants to the consuls, military tribunes and provincial governors. (5) TRIBUNES. Ten tribunes were elected annually by the plebs to protect them from the abuse of the government. Their persons were sacrosanct and they had right of veto over all actions of all government officials and institutions except a dictator. Could call sessions and preside over of the assembly. (6) CENSORS. Two were elected each five years for an 18-month term. They drew up an official list of citizens (census) and of senators. Controlled public morals and supervised public contracts. (7) DICTATOR. Nominated by a consul and confirmed by the Senate, he held absolute imperium. His task was to handle a state crisis, normally a foreign invasion. Term lasted 6 months or until the end of the crisis, whichever came first. C. ASSEMBLY (COMITIA). The sovereignty of the Roman state was vested in the Roman people and expressed through the assembly of the people. However, the people did not vote directly, but by political units or wards. The people were assembled in different configurations for different purposes and there were thus several different assemblies (or ways of organizing the assembly). (1) Comitia curiata. Only function during the Republic was to confer imperium on consuls and praetors. (2) Comitia centuriata. For the voting purposes in this assembly, the citizen body was divided into 5 property classes plus the equites, craftsmen and proletarii (landless unemployed), based on wealth, and assigned to 193 centuria (centuries) as follows: equites, 18; first class, 80; second, third and fourth classes, 20 each; fifth class, 80; craftsmen, 4; and proletarii (not numerous in the early Republic, but the most numerous group of all in the late Republic), 1. Since the voting was by century, this assembly was heavily biased toward wealth and the equites plus 79 centuries of the first class formed a majority and could carry any vote. This assembly declared war and peace and elected consuls, praetors and censors. (3) Comitia tributa. For this assembly, the citizens were divided into 35 tribes in which wealth played no significant part. However, since there were only three urban tribes, as the city s population grew, the assembly became biased in favor of the more conservative rural citizens. This Assembly elected aediles and quaestors and passed legislation.
8 (4) Concilium plebis. Since this assembly was composed of only plebs, it was not really an assembly of the state but only of the plebeian class (order). This assembly spearheaded the plebeian cause during the struggle of the orders, but during the late Republic it met only to elect tribunes. While it had the authority to pass binding legislation, most laws were usually submitted to the comitia tributa, which represented all the people. III. EMPIRE (after 27 B.C.E.). During the early empire the institutions and offices above continued to function, but all real power was vested in the Princeps, or Imperator (emperor), who held no specific office but was vested with imperium maius (supreme power) and tribunicia potestas (power of the tribune), as well as supreme religious powers and auctoritas or authority.
