The Prodigal Son has returned

Mr. Schick is back after two weeks and ready to be teaching again. We went off where he last left us at the powerpoint. In this powerpoint was the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of Ancient Rome's government and also the United States' for comparison. The Romans had consuls who would have served 1 year terms which were compared with the United States' presidents who server in 4 year terms. Both Rome and the United States had senates but the US' has about 200 less members who serve 6 year terms instead of life-time terms in Rome. In addition to the senate, the US has the House of Representatives, which the closest thing Rome would've had were Assemblies. Ancient Rome had Praetors who served one year terms instead of the States' Justices who serve life-long terms after being picked by the President and voted in by the senate. Rome had the twelve tables as their law set and the US has the Constitution and its Bill of Rights (the 10 Amendments). Today was pretty average and somewhat boring, besides one minor thing, but other than that it was fine.
