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.
Greco-Roman culture and philosophy has shaped contemporary governments in many ways, although the concepts of democracy and republican government have had the most influence.
In a nutshell, the Greeks contributed democracy or each citizen having a right to vote, the Romans the division of governmental bodies, and the English the laws.
Wealthy people of Rome were called Patricians. American Government class? Me too. Tcarver6
the republican form of government
The two are totally different and are not comparable. Roman civilisation ended some 1,300 years before the creation of the US. We are talking about totally different times, society and politics. Moreover, the Romans had three different forms of government over the 1,200 years of their history: a monarchy for 244 years (753 B.C.-509 B.C.), a republic for 482 years (509 B.C.-27 B.C.) and rule by emperors for 503 years (27 B.C.-476 A.D.)
