Intro:
The Romans influenced our society in many ways. You can see shadows of their architecture in the governmental buildings and in historical buildings. Their lawmaking and government was almost exactly the same as ours and some of their laws were very similar to ours. Both contributed to the spread of Christianity. Roman government was the first of its kind. The Roman Republic and The USA are very similar in almost every aspect of government.
68 words Romans:
The Roman Republic, so to speak, invented a lot of the architecture and the governmental ideas we use today(it was also the first republic in the history of the world.). Two major building techniques the Romans invented are the arch and the dome which are still used today, all around the world. A few important governmental processes of the Romans were: one, their law making process and two, their voting process. Their law making process consisted of approvals and vetoes of many parts of their government and then the vote of the peoples' representatives. Many of their ideas about government were unique and revolutionary in a world of monarchs.
96 words United States:
The USA was greatly influenced by the individuality and the creativeness of the Roman Republic and even borrowed and modified the laws "All citizens are to be treated equally under the law" and "A person being tried is innocent until proven guilty" from them. That is one of the reasons you see roman architecture on our governmental buildings. Both The Romans and the USA tolerated all religions and in doing so helped Christianity grow. Unlike the Roman Republic, the United States was formed for the freedom of the individual person.
87 words Conclusion:
As you can clearly see (hopefully) the United States of America was greatly influenced by the Roman Republic and its ideas. The USA has borrowed things from architectural strategies and governmental ideas from them. The Romans and us Americans have very similar views on government and how it should work.
