One main element of politics has been carried over from ancient rome to our democracy is voteing. Voteing is a big part of how we create our laws and what happens in our society. All of our people give say in a good amount of laws just as ancient romans did. Also the more rich and powerful people within the roman community that had more say in things were the patricians wich is a lot like our state senates and some other parts of our government. The tribute of plebs is a lot like our vice-president he can veto power and things that the plebians(civilians) don’t like. Also another main thing we should see here is that instead of having 1 king who says yes or no to everything he himself doesn’t like the roman empire just like us had many people creating laws and rules for the empire(until Julius ceaser came along), just as how we have many people creating our laws for government.
This is a good post, but you could have expanded more on different topics. You really had some good ideas here, especially on vetoing. Here's a link: http://www.wsu.edu/~dee/ROME/REPUBLIC.HTM
