In Rome there was an obvious divide between the rich and poor, and they were represented by difference branches of government. In the US, the constitution states that everyone is equal before the law regardless of wealth. The Roman constitution had three branches: the legislative (based on the Athens democracy), the executive (based on the Spartan oligarchy) and the judidical (based on the previous monarchy) and the US Constitution was a vast improvement on this.
The US has a republic form of government and countries such as France, Italy, Brazil, and India have the same forms.

The ideals of the Roman Republic inspired the writers of the American Constitution.
The Founding Fathers of the US and later the Framers of the US Constitution looked at the structure of the ancient Roman Republic as a model for their idea of the new US republic. Flawed as it was, the Roman Republic had what can be termed a government structure where power was shared. The US Constitution created a central government where powers are shared. It has been said that the US republic was the first one after ancient Rome's republic.
The Roman Republic influenced American Government. They let Roman men to vote for leaders, like how America votes for the president or Congress.
The Senate had the most power of government even under Julius Caesar. The Consuls were like US presidents - the chief executives of the government.
Most all of it is taken from other governments. Limited government and a Constitution from Britain, and a Republic from Roman government are a couple examples.
The ancient Roman republic indeed provided a basic model of what became the United States republic. The Roman republic saw the value of balancing power between different sectors of its republic. It was certainly not a perfectly functioning government, however, dividing powers within the government was innovative to say the least. The American republic was a better one, however, the US Founding Fathers saw the value within the ancient Roman republic.
