The early years of the US can be equated to some degree by the republican government of ancient Rome, or better said the ancient Roman Republic before the empire years, when for all practical purposes, Caesar Augustus was the emperor of the Roman Empire. In a certain sense, the Roman republic had a government that divided power among different economic, political and social classes. Certainly, the Roman republic was balanced in favor of the rich classes. It did however offer the common people a chance to have a voice in many affairs of the republic. So, in that sense, the divisions of power in that republic can be compared to the great American "experiment". The US Constitution provides for a degree of balance between various groups of citizens. This progressed to the point where a common man, with little wealth, Abraham Lincoln was able to enter US politics from a western state, like Illinois, to be elected to the top position in the US republic.
While there is debate when making meaningful comparisons to the governments of ancient Rome the United States, there is little debate that US government and State government buildings reflect the style of architecture of ancient Rome and of course ancient Greece.
