How did ideas of the ancient Greeks and Romans influence our American system of government?
The Greeks invented the idea of democracy. However, their concept of democracy was different. Nowadays we have indirect democracy, which means that the people elect representatives of the people and it is them who vote on bills. The Greek had direct democracy, which means that it was the people themselves, gathered in the assembly of the people, who voted on bills. Demorcacy means power by the people in Greek. Both the Greeks and the Romans had the concept of citizenship and the idea that citizens had rights. During the Roman Republic and in the Greek democracies, this included the right to vote. It has to be noted that not all Greek states had democracies and in that other states (such as kingdoms, oligarchies and tyrannies) there was no voting. During the period of rule by emperors which followed the Roman Republic the people no longer voted and there was absolute rule by emperors. During the Roman Republic there was also the power of veto. The idea for American veto system came from the Romans.

Why did the Romans take the idea of democracy but Chang it?
Democracy in its very basic form is a government directly by the people who elect officials to rule or speak for them. The Romans did not change this. They based their government on the Greek model, but adapted it to their culture. The Roman officials were still elected by the people which is a democracy, but the method of voting was different from the Greek model. It cannot be said that the Romans took the idea of democracy and changed it. Democracy was a Greek concept. The Romans first developed their institutions before contact with the Greeks and they already had the right to vote. Their contact with the Greeks started before the Greeks developed the idea of democracy. The first instance of influence by Greek ideas on Roman institutions was probably the reforms of Servius Tullius, the 5th king (579- The census-the categorisation of citizens into graded property value groups (classis and infra classem)- and the weighting of the vote in the assembly of the soldiers in favour of the richer was probably inspired by Solon's timocratic reform of the Athenian constitution. Timocracy (rule by the census) favoured the rich. It was less exclusive than aristocratic governance because middle income people were included, but it was not democracy. Athens went to to develop democracy, Rome became an oligarchy. Roman institutions were based on the concept of citizenship which involved the idea of having rights, one of which was the right to vote. The right to vote is not necessarily equivalent to the idea of power by the people, which is what the Greeks meant by democracy. Roman officials were not necessarily supposed to represent the people. The plebeians instituted the plebeian tribune during their first revolt so that they would now have someone who would represent their interests. It came from direct action. The democratic characteristics of the republic generally stemmed from social conflict, rather that institutions inspired by Greek ideal of power by the people which in Rome was regarded as being subversive by the elites apart from some liberals.
What were some of Greek and Roman influcences?
Greco-Roman influences are still seen today in several areas. In many instances the Greeks came up with the idea and the Romans adapted them to be practical. In the political field, the Greeks, or more properly the Athenians, came up with the idea of democracy which worked okay for Athens. The Romans agreed in principle with the Greek democracy, but found that it needed revisions in order to be practical in Rome. In architecture, we still have the columns, mostly Greek, but many of our public buildings have the Roman dome. In language, there are specialized vocabularies in law, medicine and science which rely heavily on either Greek or Latin, or both. Also, many of our common everyday words have Greek or Latin origins.
