Among many things some of the more important concepts borrowed by the USA from ancient Greece and ancient Rome were the rights of citizens to vote; to have people accused of a crime be entitled to a jury trial. In ancient Athens for a good period of time, there existed a "democracy" From Rome, the idea of written laws. In addition Rome also had a system for citizens to vote. These essentials for a representative government were lost for ages. The USA placed these basics in US laws. In the era that the USA was formed, few nations had these basic rights in law.

What were the Greek and Roman ideas of government?

Ancient Rome had a strong government in which there were many branches and a leader. Like Ancient Greece, Rome used a democracy as a type of government. Other parts of Rome might have used a Dictatorship, where one leader makes all the choices for everyone. As we have today, the ancient Romans had a Senate. We actually based our government off of theirs. So if you are unsatisfied with my answer(submitted by an 11 year old girl) you might want to search our government. Maybe that'll help.
