Detailed explanation-1: -The Roman Empire’s governmental structure is very similar to the United Stated government because they both include three branches. The Judiciary, the Executive, and the Legislative branches are included in both civilizations; however the Roman’s devised this system more than 2, 000 years before the United States.
Detailed explanation-2: -Why are both the Roman Republic and the United States today considered republics? They are both the region where the citizens vote to pick the leader(s) who make decisions.
Detailed explanation-3: -Like the Roman government, the United States has a tripartite system. The U.S. system of checks and balances makes sure that one branch of the government doesn’t have too much power. This system is like the veto, which limited the power of Roman consuls.
Detailed explanation-4: -They both have three branches of government. They both allow citizens to vote and run for office. The rule of law applies the same to everyone, like the United States. The Romans had checks and balances, and so do we.
Detailed explanation-5: -The government of the Roman Republic was neither strictly a monarchy (rule by one) or a direct democracy (rule by all). It had democratic features but was essentially a “fundamentally undemocratic society dominated by a select caste of wealthy aristocrats” (Brown, 2016, para. 2).
