Answer:

Dialogue writing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Roman citizen: Hey Phillip! Tell this guy that our style of democracy is the best form of government.

Greek citizen: Manius! You know yours is not the best.

Roman citizen: What do you mean?

Greek citizen: I mean Greek had the best style of democracy since ancient times.

Roman citizen: How can you say that? Have you ever looked at Rome, we Romans had a vast empire.

Greek citizen: No doubt. But we Greeks developed the direct democratic form of government where democracy meant the rule of the many over the few whereas, you had a rule of few over the many.

Roman citizen: We Romans contained multiple institutions that allowed both the few and the many to take part in the political process.

Greek citizen: But, the few, in your institution was represented by the Senate (aristocratic institution).

Roman citizen: Hmm. But, I think we both had the best governments according to the needs of the time.

Greek citizen: Yes.
