The designers of the U.S. government borrowed elements of the ancient Greek and Roman democracies in structuring the U.S. federal government. For example, they were influenced by the concept of a Republic, where power is vested in the people and leaders are elected to represent the interests of the citizens. They also incorporated the idea of a system of checks and balances, inspired by the Roman Republic, to prevent any one branch of government from becoming too powerful. Additionally, the designers of the U.S. government were inspired by the idea of a bicameral legislature, with a Senate and a House of Representatives, which mirrored the Roman Senate and the popular assemblies in ancient Rome. These influences from Greek and Roman democracies helped shape the structure and principles of the U.S. government as it was being created in the eighteenth century.
