The american republic
The Founding Fathers of the US borrowed some of the elements of government from Rome, but they developed and added a few innovations. Unlike Rome, checks and balances came from the workings of three areas of government: a President, who was responsible for the jobs of Commander in Chief of the military, would appoint ambassadors to take care of foreign policy, and could propose laws to the Legislative Branch; the Legislative Branch, including both a Senate, whose members are elected for six year terms, and a House of Representatives, whose members are elected for two year terms. Both houses need to agree on a law before it is sent to the President for signature. Finally, they created an independent Judiciary known as the Supreme Court whose job it was to ensure that laws passed by the Legislature were consistent with the U.S. Constitution.
The Roman government, though was advanced for its time, it was was overcome with corruption and instability. The Senate would usually have more power over the Executive branch and there was very little to no independence among the branches of government, which tended to be heavily influenced by dominant political faction. The United States distributes its power evenly. Because each state has both local and national representatives, it helps promote the interests of the people in a way that Roman government did not. The American Republic is a lot more evolved and refined then that of Ancient Rome.
