- Their next government mixed a democracy, aristocracy, and a monarchy together.
- Res Publica (republic) - the business of the people.
- The President of the United States, like a king, controls the Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard, and Army.
- Unlike the Greeks, the USA can't vote on very government decision. (like Rome)
- Patricians met at the Senate.
- Plebeians met at the Assembly.
