Ancient Greece significantly influenced America's republic through its concept of democracy, particularly the idea of citizen participation in government as seen in Athens, where male citizens actively engaged in decision-making. Similarly, Rome contributed the principle of a mixed government combining elements of democracy, aristocracy, and monarchy, exemplified by the Roman Republic’s Senate and elected magistrates, which inspired the structure of the U.S. Congress and its system of checks and balances.
