Why do you believe that the United States borrowed the classic style of architecture developed by the Greeks for the buildings that house the government?

Answer 8

In Colonial America and after the new nation was formed, the founding fathers in all the colonies/states were usually highly educated men ... and being highly educated meant they had studied lots of Latin and Greek literature and ideas. Thus there was great influence by the Greek and Roman cultures on colonial and early US ideas, art, architecture, etc.
