This is a broad question. And it needs to be noted that ancient Rome can be said to have three different governments over a time span from appoximately 700 BC BCE to 453 AD CE. The United States has a relatively young existence compared to that of ancient Rome's. The government of the United States at one time had two major things in common with all three ancient Roman governments. Each had the major flaw of denying the vote to women and each had the institution of slavery as being legal. The flaws mentioned do not now exist in the USA. In ancient Rome the flaws remained intact until the end of what is called the Western Roman Empire.
Major differences:
Anyone born in the United States is automatically a citizen.
In ancient Rome, persons born in Rome and in specific places in the kingdom, republic and imperial Rome were automatic citizens. Thus we see that citizenship is universal in the USA, but has specifications in all the "Rome's".
The early government of Rome was a monarchy. The USA was always a republic.
The "republic" of Rome had a government which followed written laws and there was a balance of power within the government. The balances of power, on paper and in some practices qualified to be called a "republic". The USA also is a republic.
The ancient Roman "republic" can be called as such because in one form or another, there were elections, there were separate bodies of law and executive action was at times separate from legislative. Rome also had a judicial system. Technically speaking for the era in which it existed, the Roman Republic was a step forward in the development of the history of governments.
In contrast to the Roman republic, the United States has a "textbook" republic. It has free elections, and separate bodies of legislation, executive processes to carry out the will of the legislative branch and a judicial system designed to ensure the laws all meet the requirements of its wriiten laws found in the US Constitution. Please understand that the details of each of the republics called to question here are written in a broad manner. To do it otherwise would require many pages of text.
After the demise of the ancient Roman republic, it was replaced in fact by what can be called a "constitutional monarchy" with a vital notation.
The notation is that the constitutional part was created by the monarch (emperor).

What did the Romans contribute to modern thought?
The most outstanding contribution of ancient Rome was the development of the their government into a republic. The ancient Roman republic was not perfect, however, the republic's structure of having a "balance of powers" in a manner of speaking, led to the USA's government of having powers shared by three different branches of government. The framers of the US Constitution created a republic where powers are balanced between the legislature, the Federal Court system and the executive branch. However, this balance between branches of government does not resemble at all the branches of the government of the Roman Republic, which were totally different. The concept of balance of powers comes from Polybius, the ancient Greeks scholar, and the work of Montesquieu, the famous the 18th century French philosopher, rather than Roman political thought. The US branches are more akin to that of the British government of the time of the drafting of the US constitution (except for the monarch) which was the model used by Montesquieu. Although several ancient civilisations developed written laws before the Romans, some of the key principles of Roman civil law have provided part of the foundation of the law of many modern countries. These were: citizenship status and citizenship rights, equality under the law, the right to have a proper trial and to defend oneself, the right to appeal, that the burden of proof rests on the accuser and not on the accused, that it is the exact form of actions and not intentions or words which is punishable, that a law deemed unreasonable or unfair can be repealed, and that no Roman citizen should be tortured.
