1 answer

Three Similarities:

  1. Representative Government: Both have elected representatives who make laws for the people.
  2. Checks and Balances: Each system has branches of government (like executive, legislative, and judicial) that check each other's power.
  3. Citizen Participation: Citizens can vote and have a say in their government.

Three Differences:

  1. Length of Terms: In Rome, some officials had short terms, while U.S. officials have longer terms (like senators for 6 years).
  2. Voting Rights: In the Roman Republic, only male citizens could vote, while the U.S. allows all citizens to vote regardless of gender.
  3. Structure: The Roman Republic had a Senate that had a lot of power, while in the U.S., the Senate and House of Representatives share power more equally.
