The correct option is "ROME"
For at least 500 years, Rome was a republic, with a Senate as the legislative power elected by the citizens (with their limitations, since not everyone could vote), and an executive power represented by two consuls. Thomas Jefferson For the American Founding Fathers, the example of the separation of powers and the absence of a monarch or absolute governor was one of the main influences.
The experience of both with absolutism, the Romans with the Etruscan kings, the Americans with the English, instilled in Jefferson, Madison and, especially in Hamilton, the idea of "dispersing" power among three branches, to avoid any abuse. This is one of the foundations of American democracy, and one of the missing elements in many of the European governments, which still suffer from politicians with too much power.
