The United States empire is based almost exactly the same as the Roman Empire!!
The Roman Empire had 2 consuls (president) the senators (house and senate) and an assembly of regular people!!
The US just combined the senate and the assembly (representatives) and made a judicial branch

There were 6 problems that the Roman republic couldn't solve!! Bad governors, Rewarding Italian allies, Latifundia (out of work farmers), too many slaves, rise of the equites(rich got richer the poor got poorer) and the too powerful senate!! The reason they ouldn't solve these problems was because of gridlock!!
In America today, we haven't done much on any of the major problems like globalwarming because of this same gridlock!! Nobody agrees with each other so nothing happens...

In the end... Rome turned into an absolute monarchy!! THere were some good emperors and many bad emperors.
Also the Ten reason s that led to the downfall of ROme are similar with todays problems!! like inflation

Why did Nat Turner decide to strike back at the slave system with retributive violence? Was he abused as a slave? What role did the old testament, the slave church, the slave underground, and extensive fasting play in the genesis of Turner's insurrectiong? Do you believe that he actually heard wind voices in the trees, saw angels in the sky, and heard the call of Jehovah?
