But the Emporer held the actual power. Also keep in mind that voting is not a right, it is a practicle measure to check the Governments power.
If thats the case (voting is not a right) then in what way did Caesar oppress the Roman people? If he expanded citizenry and reduced slavery, that means he was good for invividual rights (seeing as you do not consider electing leaders to be a right).
