The effects that can occur when commanders retain tactic
level decision-oriented CCIRs at the operational level in lieu of
decentralizing CCIRs associated with decentralized decision approval levels are
the following;
<span>-
</span>The HQ’s focus will be shifted away from the
setting conditions
<span>-
</span>The agility of the subordinates will slow down
<span>-
</span>The reporting requirements will be added even if
it is unnecessary.
On main strategy is finding a common enemy, either foreign or domestic. Another is providing economic incentives. Another is through propaganda campaigns and false history.

I can't really give you two paragraphs but one (and probably the biggest) thing was democracy. Democracy is the 'everyone gets a fair vote' and the Romans had originally started that system. After the Roman empire fell apart, the system was completely forgotten until the USA became its own country.
Another thing that we took from the Romans is archetecture. (<-- spelled wrong). Before buildings were built with steel, American's had to rely on the Roman columns, domes, and arches. Arches are great for distributing weight so that the building wouldn't collapse in on itself and so are domes. They spread the weight evenly so that you don't have to use massive pillars to hold the building up. But when steel began to be produced, the Roman architechture became more of a decorative thing because steel is a lot stronger and can support more weight.
