Abstract

U ovom radu bavit ćemo se izbornim postupkom i osnovnim pojavnim oblicima izborne korpucije u doba Rimske Republike. Izbornu korupciju možemo definirati kao povredu glasačkog prava koje je jedno od temeljnih i Ustavom zajamčenih ljudskih prava. Detaljnom analizom dvaju govora Pro Murena i Pro plancio, jednog od najvećih rimskih političara i govornika Marka Tulija Cicera koji su gotovo i jedini pravnorelevantni izvori o ovoj temi, prikazat ćemo kako se korupcija manifestirala u onovremenom procesu izbora. Također ćemo se osvrnuti na relevantne zakone o kaznenom djelu izborne korupcije u to vrijeme, postupanje i način postavljanja obrane tadašnjih odvjetnika, te kojim su se to nedopuštenim sredstvima tadašnji političari koristili kako bi utjecali na izbornu volju glasača.

Abstract (english)

In this paper, we will deal with the electoral process and the basic manifestations of electoral corruption in the time of the Roman Republic. Electoral corruption can be defined as a violation of the right to vote, which is one of the fundamental and constitutionally guaranteed human rights. A detailed analysis of the two speeches Pro Mureno and Pro Plancio, of one of the greatest Roman politicians and speakers Marcus Tullius Cicero, which are almost the only legally relevant sources on this topic, will show how corruption manifested itself in the election process at the time. We will also look at the relevant laws on the criminal offense of electoral corruption at the time, the conduct and manner of defense of the then lawyers, and the illegal means used by the politicians of that time to influence the electoral will of voters.
