SteveIn ancient Rome they had a system of Direct Democracy, meaning any male natural born citizen could come and meet and debate political issues, voting was the process of scratching your Ballad in a broken piece of pottery and placing it with the other voters, it wasn't a matter of age as much as it was being male and being a true Roman citizen
All Roman citizens had the right to vote. They voted in the assembly of the soldiers (comitia centuriata) and the assembly of the tribes. The former elected the senior officers of state, the consuls, the praetors and the censors and voted on war and peace. the latter elected the junior officersof state, the aediles and quaestors. Theplebeianscould also vote in the plebeian council.

Where did democracy first appear in Greece ancient Greece?
The first appearance of democracy is often said to have been in Athens in Ancient Greece. However one should be aware that there are very great differences on what was considered democracy in Athens and what is considered as democracy today (just as there is a rather large differences between modern democracies). For example only men could vote and these men had to be landowners as well as sons of two athenian parents.
How did ancient Greece govern themselves?
We tend to think of Ancient Greece as a single unit, but nothing could be farther from the truth. Greece of that time was made up of autonomous city-states that each had a different way of governing. Also, to consider, is the time-frame; as all Greek cities had a king at some point, including Athens. So, monarchy, oligarchy (rule by elders) and democracy were all used in Ancient Greece.

What were ancient Greece rich houses made out of?
Houses in Ancient Greece usually consisted of Mud brick, but they could be made of stone if the owner of the house was wealthy.
How did ancient Greece's assembly keep anyone from becoming too powerful?
Ancient Greece did not have a government of assembly. It was comprised of over 2,000 independent city-states which each had its own form of government. These forms varied from monarchy, tyranny, oligarchy, limited democracy and radical democracy. In a limited democracy, the citizens voted for issues put before them by the council. In a radical democracy, the assembly decided what was to be considered and decided on the outcome, which was implemented by the council. Anyone seeking to influence the assembly had to do it by effective oratory. Unfortunately good orators could sway them to unwise decisions, often with catastrophic results.
