Answer:

C. The Roman Republic had a representative government while citizens voted directly on laws in Greece.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Roman Republic in ancient times was governed by a Monarchical form of government, as a result, there was a move to establish a system of government that involved peoples' participation. Hence, the Republican System of government. This system of government created some branches of government namely; Consul, the Senate, and the Assemblies. All men could participate in government without discrimination.

Greek democracy is also known as Athenian democracy. It is similar to the Roman Republic because people could participate fully in government. The only difference is that the citizens(people) of Anthen did not include slaves, children, and women . Only men and people with high status could participate in the government by voting and making new laws. Usually, some citizens were picked in numbers to participate yearly. In my opinion, Greek democracy lacked a form of equality.
