Answer: The Romans had a republican government. The people elected most of their leaders and government officials, and those people chose the rest. They contributed to democratic principles by making laws that gave people the responsibility to vote, follow laws, do jury duty, pay taxes, elect senators, have the courts punish all people the same way, and allow people in the government to have equal power and to veto others' ideas.
