In the Dark Age from 500 CE onwards into the Middle Ages there was not only a vacuum of thought and knowledge but also a loss of knowledge. When the western world re-emerged in the Renaissance, it was underpinned by reaching back and retrieving knowledge from the Greco-Roman era as a basis on which to rebuild and advance knowledge and culture.

Which civilization had the greatest impact on the US government Greece Rome or Western Europe?

This question is really an opinion, but I would say that it would have to be Greece because Greece layed down the foundations for both of the other civilizations. Actually no, it didn't. Greece was a Democracy where the people ran the government and Rome was actually a Republic with representatives. Considering the U.S. government is a Democratic Republic, I would have to say Rome and Greece influenced the country's government.
