What elements of the Roman Republican political and legal system appear present in the systems of modern democracies?
There are many similarities in our political and legal system to the Roman Republic. One similarity is we both have military. Military is also a very big part of our country, as well as the Roman Republic. Another similarity is we both have a senate or people who represent different areas. Also not only one person made a single decision, other people had to have input or the majority vote. Another similarity is trial, a person could not just be put to death, they had to go through a trial just like in the U.S. Another similarity is of how the ruler, does not have all the influence and must be voted on. There are many similarities between the Roman Republic, and our governments or democracy's today.
