the 12 tables, innocent until proven guilty
The Law of the Twelve Table was very old, established int he archaic period. Only only fragments of it survive and it was replaced by centuries of other legislation. Moreover, it was a law, not a concept of government.
The US Constitution was influenced by the french philosopher Montesquieu who in turn was influenced by Polybius, a Greek historian and political theorist. Polybius came up with the concept of checks and balances of power. He thought that in Rome the consuls, the annually elected rules, were like a monarchy; that the senate represented the aristocracy, and that the popular assemblies which elected the officers of state and voted on laws were an element of democracy. Having three different elements in the system of government (monarchy, aristocracy and democracy) meant that each of them could check the power of the other and balance the weakness of the other. This led to the idea to have a separate executive, legislative and judiciary in the US so that they could check and balance each other.
The power of veto was inspired by the Roman Republic. In the Republic officer of state could veto the actions of officers of the same or lower rank. This was to check the power of each officer of state as the Romans did not have a centralised government and the officers acted independently with in the remit of their offices.

What was the inspiration for the law of nations?
The Roman's law of nations (jus gentium) originated form the principle of natural law. Nation was the Latin word for ethnicity and jus gentium was a sort of natural law in that it was regarded as innate in every human being. Roman law was based on the principle of rights (jus means rights). The rights conferred by jus gentium were considered to be held by all persons. They were based on the notion that the concept of justice sprung from the human mind rather than ethnicity and that it applied to everyone, regardless of citizenship or ethnicity. Through this, the provincials (the conquered peoples) and the citizens of the client states of Rome enjoyed the protection of Roman civil law in their dealings with Roman citizens. Cases between Romans and non-Romans were adjudicated by the praetor peregrino, the chief justice for foreigners, who was supposed base his rulings on fairness and on Roman civil law under the principle of the jus gentium. The law of nations within the Roman Empire became redundant in 215 A.D. when the emperor Caracalla extended Roman citizenship to all freeborn men in the empire.
