Answer:

From Greece-the principles of democracy have been brought into the US government from Greece. Greek democracy was limited as it was in the founding of the US. Only elite, men were allowed the rights of citizens in both governments.

From the Byzantine Empire-the principles of law and order came from Justinian's Code. The law code set high level law principles with each law corresponding to a punishment. The codes also set judicial principles used by the US when setting up their judicial branch of government.

From Rome-representative government was used where members of the empire were elected or chosen to represent larger populations. In Rome, this ensured the reaches of the empire were heard and in the US representation has been used to ensure the voices of states and the people are heard in at the federal level.

Here is information for both sides

Martin Luther King Jr.

One might want to be part of Martin Luther King Junior's movement because he was an advocate of nonviolence. King felt that violence only caused more problems and would allow for white citizens to continue to perceive African-Americans as hostile and unworth of equal treatment in America. This is why King would go on to organize several peaceful protests including marches, sit-ins, and boycotts. All of these can be seen as effective as they helped to get rid of racist policies and laws within the United States.

Malcolm X

One might want to be part of Malcolm X's movement because he is an advocate for standing up for oneself. Malcolm X refuses to be physically harrassed or hurt by white citizens who are trying to take away his rights. This refusal to back down shows courage and can result in change in the way people view African-American citizens.
