Answer 1

• For the Centuriate, voting was in descending order by class. The first property class would divide itself first into their 35 tribes, and then split each tribe by age forming the iuniores (juniors) and the seniores (seniors). This would form 70 centuries, each with a vote.

Answer 2

Answer:

The first answer is simple: hereditary rule. For most of this period, emperors were not chosen on the basis of their ability or honesty, but simply because they were born in the right family. For every great leader, such as Augustus, there was a tyrant like Caligula.
