the lottery is better because more people get to vote, this way the public has a larger voice
Actually Filjupe, in a lottery, people are chosen randomly and no one gets to vote. I think the assembly is better because assembly members get to vote on who they think is best for the job.
I believe the assembly is better, because it is a more organized group of people who are voting, and possibly they are better educated than the public as a whole.
I think that the assembly is better because they can choose people who are smart and right for the job
I beleive that the assembly of the century is a better way to elect officials because the people got to choose their leader. With the lottery meathod, anyone, not someone with the most diserable qualities(i.e., smartness, devotion, knowledge of the issues). Even though in the assembly, more got a chance, ellection in the assembly ment the best would be chosen.
i believe that the roman goverment is better because what would happen if someone most of the people didnt like the person who got selected adn he was a bad leader? that would definetly not be good
