What government aspects did the U.S. get from Ancient Rome?

Answer 1

The division of powers between the legislative, judicial, and executive functions of government existed to some degree in Rome, although it died out as the Emperor became more and more powerful. That's probably the most important factor that the American Constitution picked up from Roman practices.

Answer 2

Republic and Senators. A comparison between Caesar before and after rising to poweras Dictator in a Republic could also be and drawn between Ancient Rome and other Republics. Then on to compare with Dictators like Hitler and those with support of The U.S.A. and Britain to Ancient Roman ones . Using Ancient as best term to separate which referred to.

Answer 3

Empirical conquest

to Gutz: Sure it does. The US has great records of exactly how the Romans conquered other nations. Via their culture. It was cool to be roman, soldiers were paid well, chances are that if you weren't roman, it was better to become roman. US conquest is based on its spreading of its culture. Every time they run into a roadblock, they adapt, and they use history as a collection of empirical evidence of what works.
Perhaps I shouldn't use such big words in this forum.

Answer 4

Almost nothing except for the name for the upper legislative body, the Senate.

To Hans: Empirical doesn't mean what you think it does.
