How did we get our form of government? The Greeks and Romans influenced our ideas about government

How did the Greeks influence our government? Greece is called the birthplace of democracy or government by the people. The Greek government was a direct democracy. This means that the people voted to make their own rules or laws. Here in the United States, we are allowed to vote on laws for our country too.

How did the Romans influence our government? The Romans had a representative democracy. This means that the people elected a smaller group of citizens to make the rules and laws for everyone else. The United States is also a representative democracy. We are allowed to vote for senators, governors, and presidents to name a few.

What are the basic principles held by all American citizens? Life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, and equality under the law are the basic principles held by all American citizens Thomas Jefferson outlined these principles when he drafted the Declaration of Independence in 1775. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are privileges that people are born with and that cannot be taken away. Equality under the law means that all people are treated fairly.
