Question

How did Greek and Roman democracies impact the design of the U.S. government as it was being created in the eighteenth century?(1 point)

Early political leaders used the ancient democracies as examples of bad government that they did not wish to use.

Political leaders created the U.S. government with the exact same structure as the ancient democracies.

Like the ancient democracies, all citizens were eligible to vote.

The designers of the government borrowed elements of these governments in structuring the U.S. federal government.

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

"The designers of the government borrowed elements of these governments in structuring the U.S. federal government."

Brief explanation: The founders drew on Greek and Roman ideas—republicanism, civic virtue, mixed government, separation of powers, and a senate-like upper chamber—while creating a representative (not direct) democracy with checks and balances.
