The roman government is broken into four groups while the american government is broken into three. The roman government is divided as such;EXECUTIVE BRANCH, SENATE, LEGISLATIVE BRANCH and OTHER, which contained man sub sections made up of consuls of plebeians. Plebeians were ancient romans, most likely the lower class or the common people. Today the american government contains two of the four branches; executive, judicial, and legislative. The executive branch controls  the daily administration of the state bureaucracy. The judicial branch decides the constitutionality of case brought before them including laws and trials. The legislative branch writes the bills or laws. There are two groups of the Legislative Branch, The senate and the house of representatives. There are 100 senators and 435 representatives, a total of 535. When the bill is written they need a simple majority to make it a law. When the representatives and senators meet together they are called the congress. Senators serve six years in office. A representative serves 2 year terms. All bills and laws have to go through the Congress to get to the President who make the final decision.

  2. Nice blog post! I had similar ideas in my own post about how the government was split up.
