What I would like you to do today is practice some writing.  It will be a CER paragraph where you ponder the situation about Rome's Republic:

Rome is undergoing some serious problems right now, we are very proud of electing our leaders in a Republic.  But because of these problems, we are contemplating electing a DICTATOR that is all powerful for a short period of time to get through these bad times. 
​
  • Are you in favor of electing a dictator or are you against?
  • Write this out in a CER paragraph that is at least 6 sentences long
  • This is good practice and you can write loosely, but give it a good effort!
  • Read the excerpt to the right for an example of a good dictator and think about what you know about dictators where they could be bad too.
  • PICK ONE SIDE and write :)

REMINDER:  check this picture to the right for a great helper to create your paragraph.
SOURCE:  Occasionally, an emergency situation (such as a war) arose that required the decisive leadership of one individual. Under these circumstances, the Senate and the consuls could appoint a temporary dictator to rule for a limited time until the crisis was resolved. The position of dictator was very undemocratic in nature. Indeed, a dictator had all the power, made decisions without any approval, and had full control over the military.
The best example of an ideal dictator was a Roman citizen named Cincinnatus. During a severe military emergency, the Roman Senate called Cincinnatus from his farm to serve as dictator and to lead the Roman army. When Cincinnatus stepped down from the dictatorship and returned to his farm only 15 days after he successfully defeated Rome's enemies, the republican leaders resumed control over Rome.
