CLEP Western Civ I

Answer: D - The ancient Roman censor was responsible for supervising morality, maintaining the census (the record of the people) and administrating public funds. The two censors were elected officials who could only be selected from the patrician class until 351 BCE when a plebeian censor was appointed, after which laws were changed to require the election of one censor from each social class. Achieving a censorship was considered the “highest dignity” in Rome.
