The Founders included ideas in our nation's government that were not common in the Roman Republic. For example, U.S. citizens enjoy many rights that were not always protected under the Roman Republic Give an example one of these rights.(2 points)

1 answer

One of the rights enjoyed by U.S. citizens that were not always protected under the Roman Republic is the freedom of religion. In ancient Rome, while there was a degree of religious tolerance, it was not as robust as the concept of religious freedom in the United States. The Roman state religion was an integral part of Roman life, and those who practiced other religions or refused to worship the Roman gods could face persecution or discrimination. In contrast, the Founders of the United States enshrined the freedom of religion in the First Amendment of the Constitution, ensuring that citizens have the right to practice any religion of their choosing without fear of government interference or persecution.
