Compare And Contrast Rome Vs America

The Romans left a powerful legacy that impacts our modern-day society. It was founded in 753 BC around the center of the Italian peninsula. They took up 15% of the world’s population by conquering territories in western Asia, southern Europe, and northern Africa. Within itself, it consisted of 60-80 million people. Rome had a better system than Athens because of their process of citizenship, their citizens’ contributions society, and amazing government system.

There are many similarities that can be noticed between the American Nation and the Roman Empire such as the same founding of government and both dominated in military, and economic similarities. Rome is famous for their harsh discipline amongst their own ranks and their mercifulness brutality amongst their enemies. Rome warfare was characterized by great ferocity and the roman pursuit of victory was determined. Rome gave many good ideas; the senate was ruled by the people of Rome. The Roman Republic Government was a large complex constitution, which was secure by many checks and balances, so that no man could have complete control. The United States follow the path of the Roman Republic. Although there are many similarities and differences,

There is a saying ‘Rome was not built in a day’; this expresses the idea that great things take time to evolve and grow properly. America is much like Rome in the sense that over time and thanks to the foreign influences America received, it was able to blossom and still continues to grow. Without the intervention of France and England in America’s land and politics during 1795 to 1810, America would not have been able to thrive on the harsh global scale. Specifically, the political, social and economic events of the XYZ Affair, Alien and Sedition Acts, Louisiana Purchase and the despised Embargo of 1807 became turning points which would decide if America was strong enough to survive as a country.

These issues are only a few of the many causes of decline of the Western Roman Empire that also apply to the United States. The United States has to open their eyes and see the many resemblances this country has with the Roman Empire. The United States must acknowledge how many of the causes of decline of the Roman Empire are happening in this country. We must fix them before it is too

There are many reasons on why Rome or Greece is better than the other in the categories of math, technology and even the military, But that's not the point I’m trying to get across I'm writing about how much of an impact these countries have made in modern day, here are my reasons why Rome has overcome that aspect.

During the late period of Western Rome (ca. 476 C.E.), many drastic mistakes were made that contributed to the fall of the empire. These mistakes included an insecure government, invasions, and lack of communications. However, while these problems occurred thousands of years ago, there are still many lessons America can learn from the downfall of the empire. There are also many potential aspects America possesses for solving these problems if they occurred today, including a more sophisticated security system, a stronger military, and a better communication system.

The Roman Empire and Han Dynasty allowed ecological creation to impact, their society economically. But, with human resources it allowed both empires to consolidate their power with limits; rather than expanding their empires. The Roman and Han Dynasty showed their power of quality in building a empire.

Even with all the technologies that America attains, they can still be compared to Rome. Cullen Murphy’s question is fair more so on the fact that previous American leaders used “republican political models” and the examples he used for America becoming a “principate”. There has been controversies over “personal freedom” and the government keeping secrets. I like how he brought up how Rome was “overwhelmed by the consequences of its own growing size and might”. America grown tremendously, not to mention their power. It has a chance to fall just as much as the “Rome Republic”

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. Law Roman law had a significant

The Roman government developed as it did because of the patricians, being put into a position of power due to their wealth, while the plebians and noncitizens could give close to no input on what could and could not happen in their republic.

The US is commonly compared to the Roman Empire and the Roman state. If Machiavelli were alive to compare and contrast the two empires, I think that he would have much to say on the topic. Machiavelli asserts that there are two kinds of cities founded for two very different reasons (7). The first city prototype is an independent city that is founded and created in order to be run freely with autonomy. The second of the city types is the type that is founded for profit by another city. The United States and Rome could be neatly divided within these categories. The first type of city, which functions with autonomy, is Rome. The second type of city that was created to benefit the founding city would be the United States.

Imagine a world where the government was ruled by many people...What do you think the world would be like then? Well the world in the Roman republic was like this, as people called it a representative democracy. People elected representatives, to make main decisions. But the plebeians still had a

The Roman Republic started in 509 B.C. after they obtained their power back from the Etruscans. In the early start of the Roman Republic, power was not distributed properly that led to the fall of Rome. Patricians were the ones in power and the plebeians had no saying. The power

Before Stoicism began to be viewed as a way of life in Rome, Platonic and Aristotelian traditions were the basis for the Roman philosophy and way of life . The focus of everyone was to have been put towards time for education and knowledge along with other time for daily
