"Freedom is an armed Sheep contesting the results on what to have for dinner."
I sent you a well belated response to your reply about getting some designs. Sorry I thought I would get a notification when you wrote back..
I have ran a T shirt company and several clothing lines for years, and need some new fresh art so I hope we can work together. I promise I'm no flake.
Ironically, Sparta would have been better suited, because Spartan population was horrendously small, and the elite Spartan warriors, the real "Spartans" we think of today, and the true citizens of Sparta, were even smaller in number. Freedmen and Helots were on the bottom, and whether they would have been allowed to vote had Sparta been a democracy remains a mystery.
Rome, on the other hand is a true constitutional republic, like America. Another name I prefer to call it is a representative democracy, because the people rule, but instead, the people vote for representatives who then, in turn, vote amongst themselves, hopefully in the will of the people. Rome's government was very, very similar, almost exactly like America's. George Washington in particular was said to be fond of Rome's government, and the early Republic's values with which he wanted to instill in America. Athens was the father of the true democracy, and Rome was the father of the representative democracy in ancient times, while America itself is the father of the modern day representative democracy.
Whew.
