Answer:    Governments are instituted to protect citizens’ rights.

Explanation:  Enlightenment thinkers argued that the government was in the service of the citizen, and as such obliged to protect the natural rights of the people. This entailed a so-called social contract guaranteeing the natural rights of the people and a protective attitude towards the citizens, but also the duty of the citizens to support the government in their efforts to secure those rights. This also meant that the government would be replaceable if it did not protect the interests of the citizens until moral authority was secured that would legitimately protect the citizens, which again meant that the government had to be changed as many times as necessary, the danger would be present if this were not done.

In which two ways does the modern US political system differ from that of ancient Rome?
igomit [66]

Answer:

A. The government functioned as a single body of law in ancient Rome and E. ancient roman male citizens were required to serve in the military is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The people of Ancient Rome established the republic after overthrowing the last Etruscan king while the American people founded the republic after the American Revolution. Both Americans and Romans set up a government which is ruled by the people and for the people and both the systems are republic.

In republic, the head of the government is elected by the people and they elect their representatives for making laws. There are both similarities and dissimilarities between the ancient Roman republic and the government of US, both of them have executive and legislative branches in their government along with set of checks and balances. The head of the executive was the head of the military in both the governments, Executive also had the veto power and both governments had written laws.

The differences were that the Roman republic didn’t had a separate Judicial branch and the Rome was run by more than one consuls while the US has only one president. There was a provision for the dictator to take over the government in emergency situations but there is no such concept in US. The consuls also had religious duties while there it isn’t so in US. The slave labor was used In Roman republic while slavery has been outlawed in US. The Roman senators served for life while US senators serve only for six years. Roman women were not allowed to participate in government while they can do so in US. The roman social class was rigid in nature while the US social class  is flexible.
