Ancient Athens influence the framers of the United States constitution as the present bicameral structure of the United State legislature is the same as that of the Athenian legislature.

Further Explanations:

The Constitution of the America is almost the same as that of the Athenian constitution. Its power is alienated into three branches comprising a legislative subdivision with bicameral congress, executive subdivision consisting of President and Judicial subdivision with Supreme Court as its federal court. We can also say that the farmers of the constitution were too much influenced by the Athenian Constitution as there are many similarities amid the both constitution.

Athens was a Greek empire that extended from Egypt to India. A Democratic system of administration was accomplished by the Athenians where residents were permitted to partake in the decisions of the regime. The legislative body was shared into three fragments namely the Assembly, the Council, and the Court. The meeting held at the assembly used to be ostentatious and all the eligible male residents were allowable to take part in it. On the other hand, the Council used to have 500 members of which 10 members were known to be Archon who were answerable for the rotation of the work of President. Lastly, courts were accountable for the judicial matters of the realm.

The ancient Athens influenced the farmers of the United States Constitution with their legislative system because the legislative branch in Athens had two main bodies.

The U. S. has two houses in his legislative branch. We have the House of Representatives and Senate which make up our legislative branch.

Under Stalin, the U.S.S.R wanted to catch up to the West in terms of production and so embarked on several Five Year Plans. The Second one began in the year 1933 and went till 1937.

The Chinese copied the Soviet Union in making Five Year plans but never stopped. There has been a Five Year plan since 1953 with the nation being on its fourteenth plan now. The second plan however, lasted from 1958 to 1962.

India

India also emulated this strategy and came up with several Five Year plans with the second running from April 1956 to March 1961.
