Who were the Republicans in the Irish Civil War?

well for starters. Both sides were Irish republicans. However their view over the treaty differed and led to a split in the Irish Republican Army. One side accepted the terms of the Treaty and a formation of an Irish free state. the other felt that England was still ruling them through the free state through all the restrictions placed on the free state government and its people. The anti treaty IRA felt that giving an oath of loyalty to a king who they had fought so hard to get out of Ireland was unthinkable as well as giving up the North of Ireland. So although Irish handled day to day life in Ireland England had the final say on anything and could demand Irish help in any war. this did not sit well with 8 out of ten volunteers in the IRA who were forced to turn their own guns on fellow Irishmen when the Free state Army the IRA who had supported the treaty opened fire with artillery on the Four courts where Anti Treaty IRA were holed up. The violence was terrible..and no Irishmen likes to talk about the Irish Civil war. This is a very complicated subject i would recomend you read the book The IRA by Tim pat coogan. and other books such as rebel hearts and other sources (avoid Britsh sources since they are always biased towards any IRA some Irish are not much better however you can pick through most of the bias in no time espically ones that start off with the phrases that try to define them as either heros or vile terrorists.) please read more to get a better understanding

What type of government did the ancient Romans have how did this contribute to the government in the US today?

You have two questions here. First of all, ancient Rome had a very long history and had three types of government during its existence. the first was a monarchy, which was overthrown, just as the monarchy of the early US was overthrown. The second form of government of the ancient Romans was the republic in which certain civil rights were guaranteed and the people elected their representatives. This form of government, called the republic, was the form of government that influenced the United States and most of the western world.

The question also asks how. This is an interesting question because nobody would think of replicating the institutions of the Roman Republic which would be very weird to us. Two key sources of inspiration for the US constitution were the British philosopher John Locke, the father of classical liberalism, and the French philosopher Montesquieu. They both advocated the separation of powers (the division of power among the executive, legislative and judiciary). Montesquieu based this concept on his interpretation the British political system and on his reading of the 2nd century Greek historian Polybius' treatise on the checks and balances of power of the Roman Republic The concept of of checks and balances of power is fundamental to the workings of the US system. The presidential veto must also have been influenced by the Roman Republic. Veto was central to checks and balances in the Roman Republic. Officers of state of the same rank could veto each other and officers of state of higher rank could veto officers of lower rank.
