How can people participate in a democratic government aside from voting?
The election of officials occurred only during the 482-year period of the Roman Republic. During the subsequent 503-year period of rule by emperors (27BC-476 AD), officials were appointees of the emperors. During the Republic citizens also voted on bills. In the Early Republic the soldiers convened in the Assembly of the Soldiers and voted on bills proposed by the consuls (the two annually elected heads of the Republic). Later, the plebeians (commoners) convened in the Plebeian Council (the assembly of the plebeians) voted on bills proposed by the plebeian tribunes. The Assembly of the Soldiers elected the senior officials and voted on war and peace. It also acted as an appeal court for death penalty cases until 82 BC. The Assembly of the Tribes (administrative districts), which convened all citizens, elected the junior officials and acted as a court of appeal for all other cases until 82 BC. In 82 BC appeal cases were transferred to a special jury court, the quaestiones perpetuae. There were also the plebeian tribunes who were elected by the Plebeian Council, presided over this assembly and were the representatives of the plebeians. They were not officers of state. Through their role as representatives of the plebeians and with the Plebeian Council becoming the legislative body, they could have a lot of power.
