I think, maybe. Because,

Long before the Roman Republic was established in 509 BCE, the early Romans lived by laws developed through centuries of custom. This customary law (ius, in Latin) was handed down through generations and was considered by the Romans to be an inherited aspect of their society as it had evolved from its earliest days. Integral to the notion that this customary law was part of the fabric of early Roman culture was the fact that this law only applied to Roman citizens and was thus ius civile, or civil law.
The citizens of Rome were divided into two classes: patricians, the elite class who ruled Roman society, and plebeians, the common people. One element of the patricians' elite status was that a group of patrician men called pontiffs were the ones who made decisions and ruled in questions of customary law. Over time, plebeians came to see that because of the disparity between their positions, patricians tended to have some advantage in the legal decisions made by the pontiffs who were their equals in status and power, and dissatisfaction grew with what many perceived to be the arbitrariness of the decisions made.

the framers of the U;S; constitution addressed the problem of ividing authority between state governments and the national gover
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

It is very doubtful the same solution could have worked.

Explanation:

The United States was born as a federation of the 13 former British colonies, which, after years of debate, finally settled for a federal pact, creating a central government and states that had considerable power over their territories, as a means of balancing the power between states and the federal government. But in the end, regional identities aside, all states saw themselves as American states and the federal government as an American institution. However, in Great Britain, history had been different. The US has states, but the United Kingdom has nations. Many people from these nations of the British Islands, especially from Scotland and Ireland, saw the English as invaders, and the British government as an institution that represented the will and the interests of the English. A common British identity never fully developed in the same sense as the American one, and the same solution probably couldn't have worked in both countries. Eventually some powers were devolved to national legislatures in the United Kingdom, but legally, they're still subordinated to the British central government.
