Question

why is ancient rome important to american government?
rome had a republic with elected leaders and written laws.
rome was ruled by kings who had unlimited power.
romes government was based only on religion and priests.
rome created a system where all citizens voted on every law.

Explanation:

Ancient Rome had a republic with elected leaders (like consuls) and written laws (such as the Twelve Tables). The American government, which is a republic, drew inspiration from this model. Monarchies (ruled by kings with unlimited power) are not the model for the American government. Rome's government was not solely based on religion and priests. Also, Rome did not have a direct democracy where all citizens voted on every law (it was a republic with representative elements, and not all residents were citizens with full voting rights in the same way as a direct - democracy concept).

Answer:

Rome had a republic with elected leaders and written laws.
