How is Rome's republican government fierent than what we have in the us today?
The two are not comparable. During the Roman Republic (509-27 BC), Rome did not have a centralised executive, like a cabinet or an administration and the Romans did not elect only the head of the government (such as a president or a prime minister). There were five types of executive officers of state and all of them were all elected annually, except for the censors who were elected every 18 months. Each of these officers of state acted independently within the remit of their office.
The senate was not an elected body. It was composed of patricians (aristocrats) and former executive officers of state. It was not a legislative body either. It was an advisory body. It was a body where matters of policy were discussed and recommendations for the consuls (the two annually elected heads of the Republic) were made.
Rome had three popular assemblies, the Assembly of the Soldiers which gathered all the soldiers; the Assembly of the Tribes which included all Roman citizens, who were gathered in groups, one for each of the tribes, which were the Republic's administrative areas; and the Plebeian Council which was the assembly of the plebeians, the commoners. The Assembly of the Soldiers voted on war and peace and elected the senior officers of state (the consuls, the praetors and the censors). The Assembly of the Tribes elected the junior ones (the aediles and the quaestors). Until 82 BC the Assembly of the Soldiers also acted as a court of appeal for capital punishment cases and the Assembly of the Tribes acted as a court of appeal for other cases. The Plebeian Council elected the political representatives of the plebeians, the plebeian tribunes.
In the Early Republic, bills were proposed by the consuls (the two annually elected heads of the Republic) and were voted on by the soldiers gathered in the Assembly of the Soldiers. Later in the Republic the plebeian tribunes became the main proposers of bills and the Plebeian Council (the assembly of the commoners) became the main legislative body.
During the subsequent period of rule by emperors (27 BC-476 AD) these arrangements were replaced by absolute rule by emperors.

Do oil companies get government subsidies?
ya the PSU oil companies get the subsidies from the government. As the oil prices in retail market in most countries like India are governed by the government so in order to compensate for the losses occured by the PSU oil companies the government provides subsidies. These subsidies are in the form of Oil Bonds issued by the government to these oil companies, which can be encashed by the companies whenever they require funds.
In America they are granted tax breaks (much like any other business, though). But we have to look at the net factor of a lot of things. For instance, many oil companies are punished for pollution or subject to higher taxes than most businesses. ExxonMobil usually pays about twice its profit in taxes every year (If I remember correctly, Exxon made $17B dollars last year but paid $34B in taxes).

In the USA Petroleum companies are the beneficiaries of preferential tax credits and rates which are significantly lower than other businesses. Including Federal subsidies for: Percentage depletion allowance, nonconventional fuel production credit, Expensing of exploration and development costs, enhanced oil recovery credit, Foreign tax credits (FTCs), Deferral of foreign income, Accelerated depreciation allowances, Expensing of tertiary injectants, and Exclusion of interest on industrial development bonds for energy facilities.
In addition to the federal tax subsidies State and Local tax rates on the sale of gasoline is approximately 1/3 lower than the average sales tax rate on other types of products.
Many temporary tax relief reforms such as the The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 (TRA) etc cost another 2 billion in 1997 dollars per year that once in place have yet to be removed due to politicians being sympathetic to the wishes of the petroleum industry.
Not only do these tax provisions distort the real price of gasoline at the pump, but promote the general environmentally unfriendly practices of the oil industry over the development of cleaner alternative green fuels.
Explain why the separation of Powers in federalism became key parts of the constitution?
Federalism in the United States has three branches which include the executive, judicial, and legislative. The constitution of the United States outlines the powers of each branch and has an established checks and balances system in place for these branches of government. This is done so that the overall control of the country is left in the hands of the people and not one individual person or group within the government. The legislative branch makes the rules, the executive branch carries out the rules, and the judicial branch holds all accountable for following the laws.
