Which of the following best explains the impact of Greek and Roman democracies on how the
US. legislative, judiciary, and executive branches function? (1 point)
While the writers of the U.S. Constitution were familiar with Greek and Roman political ideas, they
avoided implementing these into their government.
The U.S. branches of government are structured almost identically to their parallels in ancient
Greece and Rome and function the same way as well.
The writers of the U.S. Constitution took inspiration from Greece and Rome but adapted the
ancient ideas to create a mixed government system of their own.
Early American political leaders did not understand ancient Greek and Roman political ideas; any
similarities between those and the U.S. are coincidence.
