Detailed explanation-1: -Not surprisingly, then, Rome inspired many features of our own Constitution, including its checks and balances, bicameral legislature, term limits and age requirements. In some cases, the Founders copied terms straight out of the Roman constitution: words like senate, capitol and committee.
Detailed explanation-2: -One of the innovations of the Roman Republic was the notion of equality under the law. In 449 B.C.E., government leaders carved some of Rome’s most important laws into 12 great tablets. The Twelve Tables, as they came to be known, were the first Roman laws put in writing.
Detailed explanation-3: -1. The arch and the vault. The Romans did not invent but did master both the arch and vault, bringing a new dimension to their buildings that the Greeks did not have. Arches can carry much more weight than straight beams, allowing longer distances to be spanned without supporting columns.
