Just about everything was different between the two republics. About the only similarities were that the people voted and elected their officials and both forms of government were called "republic"' The terms of office were different, with the Romans only having one year in each office. The function of the officials was very different. The Roman senate was nothing like the U. S. senate. Roman senators were not elected by the people and technically could not pass a law. Executive power was shared by two men, the consuls, in Rome while in the U. S. the executive power is held by one person.
