DIRECT DEMOCRACY
No one in the US adopted all of the political ideas of the Romans. The fathers were inspired by the Roman Republic, but did not adopt the ideas of this republic because this political system applied to an ancient society, which was totally different. They were strongly influenced by Montesquieu, am 18th century French philosopher , rather than the Roman political system.

Since the Roman Empire had ceased to exist long before the US came into existence in the late 18th century, I would argue that the US did not adopt anything from the Romans, at least not directly. Of course, the Romans did influence the British, who in turn were the main influence on the US. But there are lots of things that were not adopted from the Romans, even indirectly by way of the British. Several of America's favorite crops, including corn and potatoes, were unknown to the Roman Empire, for example.

The political ideals that the US took from the Romans were a codified law system and representative government. Ancient Rome had a representation system where senators voted for their areas. Rome was too spread out for Athenian democracy.
Of course not. The Romans had no idea North America existed.

The idea is that an adult is legally responsible for and able to take care of themselves, so they do not need someone to adopt them.
