1 nov 27 av. J.-C. - Rome’s legacy (government)
Description:
The Romans established a form of government — a republic — that was copied by countries for centuries. In fact, the government of the United States is based partly on Rome's model.
For example: The United States has three branches of government similar to the Roman Republic. The Executive Branch (President) is similar to the elected consuls of Rome. The Legislative Branch (Congress) is similar to the Roman assemblies (like the Senate). Finally, the Judicial Branch is similar to the Praetors of Rome. The U.S. even named one house of Congress, the Senate, after the Senate of Rome.
Congress: is the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Praetors: is a judicial officer who had broad authority in cases of equity, was responsible for the production of the public games, and, in the absence of consuls, exercised extensive authority in the government.
