How does wards description of the roman government compared to polybius’ description in document a and millars description document b

Polubius' description is very naive and lacks proper research. It is purely academic and based on a study of the laws and procedures of government, elections and law-making. Millar’s description is more balanced as it adds to the description presented by Polubius but does provide the caveat that such description is only true in form and not in substance. Ward’s description on the other hand is thoroughly researched as he focuses not only on how the Roman Republic was formally organized but how it actually functioned on the ground with regards to civil participation in the selection of candidates and voting rights. It is grounded on empirical evidence provided by historical data and facts that show how the democratic republican principles of the Roman republic were nullified by arbitrary rules and regulations that surreptitiously prevented the majority of citizens to exercise their rights.
