also spoke earnestly of the danger IN
popular elections of having only small
percentage of the electorate voting.
Another big point that the amoas
sador emphasized in drawing certain
conclusions for modern lawmakers and
voters from the successes and failures
of ancient Rome was that the represen-
tatives sent to make laws for the people
in State and nation should be chosen not
merely for uprightness OF character.
