Have you ever thought that the U.S. government is easily comparable to the Roman's version of government? Maybe that's because the U.S. government is roughly parallel with the Ancient Roman Government.

Fall of Rome Essay Rome’s fall from power would have been difficult to imagine for the Romans who lived at the strongest stage of the Roman civilization, and the thought for many in the United States that the United States of America (USA) could ever fall must also be very hard to imagine. There are, however, many similarities between the problems the Roman Empire faced as it fell and where the USA is currently. Unless the USA can address some or most of these issues better than the Romans, the United States is at risk of falling from power like Rome did over 1560 years ago.

Not only did the Italian city-republics differentiate themselves from their Roman predecessors in terms of how they came about, but their governments ran differently. While there were certainly elements of similarities between the two eras, there were considerable differences. To start, it is important to lay out the basic foundations of the Roman republic. The Roman republic was incredibly intricate and convoluted to the point that it would take forever to parse out the exact inner workings of each system of government. As such, just the bare bones of the Roman government are necessary to learn from. In essence, the Roman republic can be described in modern terms as a system of checks and balances. The government was predicated on the single principle that too much power should not reside in the hands of one man. No one organ of government could act completely alone. “To execute any act of government, a number of magistrates or other organs must concur” (Finer 396). Each body was divided and had specific powers delegated to it, which will be described more in detail later. The powers were not as simple as legislative, executive, and judicial as most modern people experience government today. Instead, each of the various powers of the three modern branches were even further divided into different governmental organs. The fascinating thing about the Roman republic, however, is in how it slowly morphed into what it eventually became. Instead of the American top-down approach

The book Are We Rome by Cullen Murphy gives a detailed history of Rome from its start to its demise. Then goes to introduce America’s history as well as comparing the two. The author starts off the book with introducing Rome and Emperor Diocletian, who he was to Rome and so forth.

It lets the reader then decide for themselves the question the author asks, which is “Are We Rome” (14).

In the second century B.C., The Roman republican state was separated into two different social classes: the patricians and the plebeians. The patricians were the wealthier citizens who had all the political power in the Roman state while the plebeians were less wealthy citizens who barely had any standing in government. The plebeians, in particular, lacked many of the rights and protections enjoyed by the patricians under Roman law, and their lives were often harsh and unhappy.
