Trouble in the Republic
•
1 like•232 views
The document summarizes some of the political and economic problems that led to the decline of the Roman Republic. Small farmers struggled due to competition from slave labor and many lost their land, leading to increased unemployment and poverty. Politicians provided distractions to the people but failed to address the real issues. Two brothers, Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus, tried to help the poor by advocating land reform but were assassinated. Eventually generals began recruiting poor citizens and relying on the military rather than the traditional government structures, weakening the Republic.

Rome's Government
The document summarizes the early government of Rome as a republic shaped by tensions between patricians and plebians. Patricians were wealthy landowning nobles who made up the ruling class and could serve in government, while plebians were the majority population of artisans and farmers who could vote and serve in the army but not hold public office or marry patricians. The main government positions were the two consuls, elected annually to head the army and government, and praetors who interpreted laws and judged courts. Rome also had a strong army of citizen soldiers organized into legions. Rulers were shrewd in granting citizenship and treating conquered peoples well to maintain loyalty and control over the empire.
Roman Lesson 7 - Politics part 2
Rome's political legacy still lives on today through examples such as democratic republics, elected representatives, citizenship, and systems of laws. The growing Roman Empire's legions needed powerful generals to control and defend its expanding territory, but this made the generals increasingly powerful over time and distrustful of the Senate. The first Triumvirate was a secret alliance between two generals, Julius Caesar and Pompey, and the wealthy Crassus to control the Republic. This alliance fell apart and led to civil war between Caesar and Pompey, culminating in Caesar's victory and rise as Rome's dictator. However, some feared he was becoming too powerful, and he was assassinated in 44 BC, leading to the formation of the second Triumvir
1 3 crisis republic
The Gracchus brothers, Tiberius and Gaius, as tribunes attempted to help the poor Romans by creating farms on illegally obtained public land to keep them happy and avoid rebellion. However, this angered the wealthy and led to both brothers being killed, showing violence could be used to enact political change. Later, Marius encouraged the poor to join the army, swelling its size, while Sulla came to power through military success but then had Marius exiled, leading to civil war. Spartacus then led a major slave revolt but was defeated, with many slaves executed to demonstrate the consequences of rebellion.
Republic´s End
After Caesar's assassination, there was a power struggle between his two most trusted men, Mark Antony and Octavian. They worked together to defeat Caesar's killers at the Battle of Philippi but later had a falling out when Antony divorced Octavian's sister to marry Cleopatra. This led to a civil war where Octavian defeated Antony and Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium. Octavian then consolidated power, taking the title of Augustus and establishing himself as Rome's first emperor, bringing an end to the Roman Republic.
Effects of First world war
The First World War destroyed empires, created new nation-states, and led directly to the rise of Soviet communism and Hitler. It caused nearly 8 million soldier deaths as well as millions of wounded. The former empires of Germany, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire and Russia broke apart into smaller countries. The war also forced massive economic and infrastructure destruction across Europe along with high unemployment and social changes.
JC Life Map
Julius Caesar (100 BCE - 44 BCE) was a prominent Roman politician and general who greatly expanded the Roman Republic through his military conquests. After conquering Gaul for nine years, tensions grew between Caesar and his rival Pompey. This led to civil war within Rome as Caesar crossed the Rubicon river against Senate orders, defeating Pompey. As dictator of Rome, Caesar continued expanding Roman territory but faced opposition from those loyal to the republic. On the Ides of March in 44 BCE, Caesar was assassinated by a group of senators led by Brutus and Cassius, fearful of Caesar becoming king and ending the republic.

The document discusses key developments in early American journalism history. It describes two Revolutionary War printers, Isaiah Thomas and Thomas Paine, who helped establish freedom of the press. It then discusses the penny press of the 1830s, which made newspapers more affordable and accessible to the masses. This led newspapers to focus more on local news and human interest stories. The document also summarizes the invention of the telegraph in 1844, which allowed for long-distance transmission of news and stimulated growth of small town newspapers. It concludes by discussing the founding of the Associated Press in 1848 to facilitate the sharing of news among newspapers.
Rome- Geography, Republic, Punic wars notes
The ancient Romans originated from three groups - the Latins, Greeks, and Etruscans - who settled the Italian peninsula between 1000-500 BC. The Latins built the original settlement of Rome. In 509 BC, the Romans overthrew their Etruscan kings and established a republic where elected officials governed. Over time, the Romans conquered the Italian peninsula through their organized military. This led to conflicts with the powerful city of Carthage in North Africa in the Punic Wars from 264-146 BC, ultimately resulting in Rome establishing itself as the dominant power in the Mediterranean world.

Using a Wiki as an Organization Portal (at TriXML2006)
This is a presentation given by Rick Sapir and Bill Albing (of KeyContent.org) about their use of a wiki as an organization web portal. This was given at the TriXML 2006 conference, in Raleigh, NC.
Articles Of Conferation
The Articles of Confederation established a loose alliance among the 13 original states after the American Revolutionary War. It gave the central government very little power, which led to several problems. The states argued over land claims and had different currency systems. Congress could not raise taxes and had to rely on states for funding, but states often refused. Other countries took advantage of the disunity and disobeyed agreements. The major problem was that the Articles of Confederation did not give the central government enough power and authority over the states.
Bill of Rights
The document discusses the ratification of the US Constitution and the addition of the Bill of Rights. It notes that ratification was only achieved when the framers promised to add a Bill of Rights. The first 10 amendments, addressing individual rights and freedoms, were thus added in 1791 as the Bill of Rights. These amendments established rights that could not be taken away by the government like freedom of speech, religion, press, assembly, and the rights in criminal cases.
Birth of A Republic
Rome became a powerful republic in 509 BC when citizens rebelled against their rulers and formed a new government where leaders were elected. Key factors in Rome's rise included establishing a strong citizen army organized into disciplined legions, constructing infrastructure like roads and military settlements, and rulers who granted citizenship to conquered peoples to gain their loyalty while crushing any revolts.
Social Media Lure And Limits
The document discusses the rise of social media and how it has changed how people interact and share information online in a collaborative way. It explores both the benefits of social media like widespread audiences and easy connections, as well as limitations around privacy and inability to take content back once shared. Examples are given of how businesses and individuals can leverage social media tools to better connect with customers and networks.
The Empire Rises
The document summarizes the rise of Octavian and the Roman Empire under Augustus. After Julius Caesar's assassination, Octavian allied with Antony and Lepidus in the Second Triumvirate to defeat Caesar's assassins. However, Octavian and Antony soon began arguing over power and split the empire between them, with Octavian ruling the western half. Antony fell in love with Cleopatra and Octavian convinced Rome that Antony wanted sole rule, leading Octavian to defeat Antony at the Battle of Actium. Octavian then took control of all of Rome at age 32, declaring himself emperor under the title Augustus, though giving some power to the Senate.
Augustus Improvements
1. Augustus made improvements to the Roman military by establishing a professional standing army of 150,000 citizens and a Praetorian Guard of 9,000 bodyguards for the emperor. He also conquered new lands, establishing a long period of peace and stability known as Pax Romana.
2. Augustus improved the Roman government by appointing proconsuls chosen by himself to govern provinces, gradually taking power away from the Senate.
3. Augustus also made improvements to Rome itself, building palaces, fountains, and public buildings which led to a flourishing of the arts. He imported grain to feed the poor citizens, creating a happier population.
Decline of Rome
The document summarizes the four main reasons for the decline of the Roman Empire:
1. Political breakdown as competent leaders failed to rise after the last good emperor died and the army fought for power, seeing 22 emperors in 50 years.
2. Social breakdown as Roman society lost its ideals, government officials took bribes, wealthy citizens stopped paying taxes, and people stopped education. Slavery became the main labor source.
3. Economic breakdown as soldiers seized crops so farmers stopped growing, people stopped buying goods, inflation increased rapidly, and they returned to bartering as coins lost value.
4. Military breakdown as legionaries stole from their own people, invaders entered the empire,
Who's the Point?
Social media allows for interaction between humans online through sharing of content, comments, and participation in online communities and games. It enables participatory democracy where all can contribute and interact with one another. The point of social media is not the media itself or just the sharing of content, but what humans accomplish through our interactions and collective intelligence online.
All Roads Lead to Rome...
The document discusses key systems that allowed the Roman Empire to prosper: transportation, currency, and aqueducts. The Roman road network grew to over 50,000 miles, facilitating trade and security across the large empire. A standardized Roman currency and system of weights and measures also promoted commerce. Aqueducts transported water over long distances, up to 50 miles, enabling cities to flourish with clean drinking water. These infrastructures made the empire's expansion and economic success possible.
Origins of Rome
The document summarizes the origins of Rome according to both geography and legend. Geographically, Italy's location as a peninsula with mountain passes and plains provided room for population growth, unlike Greece's mountainous islands. Legend says the Trojan prince Aeneas fled to the mouth of the Tiber river, becoming the father of Rome. The twins Romulus and Remus were said to have been rescued by a she-wolf and founded Rome, with Romulus becoming its first king in 753 BCE. However, historians believe people gradually banded together near the Tiber for protection between 800-700 BCE to form the early community of Rome.
Constitution
The document discusses finishing a station activity at school about the Constitutional Convention. It provides background information on the Articles of Confederation and weaknesses it had around land claims, financing, and foreign relations. It then describes a station activity where students discuss whether certain issues around land disputes, debt, and other countries taking advantage of disunity were weaknesses or strengths of the Articles of Confederation.
Fall of the Republic
The document summarizes reasons for the fall of the Roman Republic, including territorial expansion that led to unrest from conquered peoples and difficulty controlling vast lands. Civil wars also erupted as military generals used their armies to claim power and citizens sided with opposing generals or the Senate and dictators. Caesar's assassination further plunged Rome into civil war between his assassins and supporters. All of these problems created conditions ripe for the transition from republic to empire.
5 Themes of Geography
This document provides an overview of the key concepts in geography, focusing on the 5 major themes: location, place, movement, region, and human-environment interaction. It uses examples to illustrate each theme, such as how the region theme explains why states like Georgia and Florida are considered part of "The South" due to their shared characteristics. The document concludes by asking students to identify one theme and how it affects their lives as 7th graders.
Midterm Essay Examples
This document provides examples of introductions, thesis statements, and topic sentences for a midterm essay about the Constitutional Convention. It includes warm up questions to assess if the essay is persuasive or informative. The focus is on organization, content and conventions. Students are instructed to find a partner to exchange and grade rough drafts, and complete a worksheet.
Great Depression Lesson
The document discusses the causes and effects of the Great Depression in the United States between 1929-1932. It provides background on President Hoover's response, which opposed direct government relief and favored private charities. It also describes the stock market crash of 1929 and its devastating impact, causing widespread unemployment and economic suffering. Testimonials are included from people who lost their farms and had to relocate during this difficult time period.
Trouble In The Republic The Need For Web
The document discusses problems faced by plebeians in ancient Rome and the need for political reform. Plebeians struggled financially after wars ruined their farms and they lost their jobs to slaves. As a result, many plebeians moved to cities and worked low-paying jobs in cramped, unsanitary conditions. This led to unrest among the plebeians that threatened revolt. While patricians tried to control the plebeians through "bread and circuses", a new government was formed to better address their needs through helpful laws. However, reformers like the Gracchus brothers who tried to help the plebeians were assassinated by the Senate. Most plebeians then joined the army, making soldiers loyal to
The Progressive Era
Progressivism arose in response to rapid industrialization, immigration, and urbanization in the late 19th century. Progressives believed the government needed to expand its role to curb the power of big business, make government more accountable to citizens, and improve lives through social reforms. Notable early reformers included Henry George, Edward Bellamy, and muckrakers who exposed corruption. The movement achieved some successes through legislation at municipal and state levels and constitutional amendments, though business interests often resisted reforms. Women also played an increasing role through social reform organizations.
Progressivism
The document discusses the origins and goals of the Progressive Era movement between 1890-1920. It emerged in response to rapid industrialization, immigration, and urbanization. Progressives believed the government should do more to regulate large businesses, curb the influence of wealth, and enact policies to improve lives like workers' rights, public health, and consumer protections. Notable early reformers and activists mentioned include Henry George, Edward Bellamy, Upton Sinclair, and Florence Kelley. The movement achieved some successes through legislation at the state and local level and eventually resulted in several amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
USH History Chapter Nine
The Great Depression lasted from 1929 to 1941 and was caused by a combination of factors. The stock market crash of 1929 led to widespread bank failures as banks had invested heavily in the stock market and made loans to investors. Unemployment rose to 25% as GDP was cut in half, and makeshift villages known as "Hoovervilles" sprung up as many families lost their homes. The Dust Bowl drought exacerbated problems, and Hoover's response was initially insufficient although he did enact some public works projects later on.

The document discusses problems faced by plebeians (poor people) in ancient Rome and changes to the government to address their issues. Plebeians struggled financially after wars ruined their farms and slaves took their jobs. They moved to cities for low-paying work in cramped apartments. This led to risks of revolt against the wealthy patricians. To control plebeians, the patricians provided cheap food and entertainment. However, passing helpful laws was the real solution. A new government formed with emperors and tribunes, both good and bad. Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus helped plebeians but were assassinated for it. Most plebeians joined the army for work but became loyal to

The document provides an overview of the Great Depression in the United States between 1929-1941. It discusses the key phases and causes of the depression, including speculation in the stock market, easy credit policies, overproduction, and income disparity. The stock market crash of 1929 marked the beginning of a deep economic downturn, as banks failed and unemployment rose sharply. President Hoover initially took a hands-off approach, while FDR later introduced major relief programs known as the New Deal to stimulate the economy and assist the unemployed. However, full recovery was not achieved until US entry into World War II.
Presentation25
The Great Depression was the longest and most severe economic downturn in modern history, lasting from 1929 to 1939. It began with the Wall Street Crash of 1929 and was caused by overproduction, excessive consumer debt, and inadequate demand. The Depression had devastating effects worldwide, with major political changes occurring in Europe and the United States as traditional liberal capitalist economics was abandoned in favor of government intervention and recovery programs.
The great depression
The Great Depression lasted from 1929 to 1939, and was the worst economic downturn in the history of the industrialized world. It began after the stock market crash of October 1929, which sent Wall Street into a panic and wiped out millions of investors.
Fdr
FDR implemented several programs as part of the New Deal to provide relief, recovery, and reform from the Great Depression:
1) The New Deal established programs like the CCC to provide jobs for unemployed young men, the AAA to support falling agricultural prices, and the TVA to develop infrastructure and attract industry.
2) Other programs included the NRA to regulate industry and set wages and prices, the FERA to provide federal relief funds to states, and the SEC to regulate the stock market.
3) However, some of the New Deal programs were found unconstitutional or did not adequately help African Americans, who faced discrimination in programs like the NRA.
Lesson 3
Here is a suggested outline for answering the question "How prosperous was the USA in the 1920s?":
Introduction:
- The 1920s saw a period of rapid economic growth and change known as the "Roaring Twenties" or the "Boom" in the USA.
Paragraph 1: Positives
- Mass production led to more affordable consumer goods like cars and household appliances. The expanding middle class could afford to buy these goods, fueling further economic growth. Employment was high in industries like automobiles and construction. Stock market speculation allowed many Americans to profit from market gains. Overall living standards increased for many Americans during this period.
Paragraph 2: Negatives
- Not all Americans shared equally in prosperity
Reconstructing Society
1. During Reconstruction, small farmers known as scalawags changed from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party to gain economic and political advantages since Republicans were in power and controlling Reconstruction.
2. Governments during Reconstruction faced challenges in rebuilding the South including financing spending, poor credit, and conflicting goals within the Republican Party. They addressed economic and social problems through public works programs, schools, and aid for freed slaves.
3. The Freedmen's Bureau helped reunite families and established schools while African American churches served important social, educational, and leadership roles in the community during Reconstruction.

History Of The Great Depression
The Great Depression had a devastating impact on the United States. The stock market crash in October 1929 marked the beginning of over a decade of high unemployment, poverty, and despair. By 1932, nearly a quarter of Americans were unemployed as banks collapsed and businesses failed. President Hoover initially took a hands-off approach and urged voluntary cooperation between businesses and workers, but the crisis continued to deepen. By the 1932 election, Hoover's popularity had declined greatly, and Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected president on promises to take bolder action to fight the Depression.

Lesson 6 b
The document discusses the Manchuria Crisis of the 1930s. It outlines key events such as Japan taking control of Manchuria in 1931 and setting up a puppet government there in 1932 against League of Nations rules. When China appealed to the League, it ruled Japan's actions unlawful but was powerless to enforce its decision. Japan then withdrew from the League and continued its aggression in China. The League failed to stop Japanese expansion due to weaknesses in both its structure and lack of commitment from member nations.

State Constitution
Once independence was achieved, each state began writing a constitution to govern themselves. The states knew they needed governments to control the people, so most states wrote constitutions that outlined the laws, principles, organization, and processes of the government. These early constitutions stated the rights of citizens and limited the power of the government. They also included bills of rights to protect freedoms like trial by jury, freedom of religion, and freedom of the press due to fears of powerful governments after the revolution.

4) Architecture such as concrete, domes, arches and aqueducts.
The West Falls
The document provides information about the fall of the Roman Empire in the 5th century AD. It summarizes that Germanic tribes such as the Goths, Vandals, Franks, and Angles invaded the western Roman Empire and swept through cities, burning everything. Specifically, it notes that in 455 AD the Visigoth leader Alaric burned Rome, and in 476 AD the Germanic general Odoacer took control of the empire, marking the fall of the western Roman Empire to invaders.
Attempted Reforms
Diocletian and Constantine attempted reforms to save the declining Roman Empire but they were ultimately unsuccessful. Diocletian divided the empire into four parts with named officials but he really ruled all, set wages to slow inflation, and ordered workers to remain in their jobs until death. Constantine required sons to follow their fathers' jobs and moved the capital to Constantinople in the east, where his reforms were more effective, while the empire continued declining in the west. The reforms failed to save the Roman Empire from collapse.
Roman Legionary
The document discusses the equipment and role of Roman legionaries. It describes how various groups influenced the early foundations of Rome. Students are tasked with creating a Roman standard in a group activity by using materials like construction paper, glue, and markers to design a tall pole topped with a flag to represent their military unit.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
