The most important parallel is political. The Roman republic was set up with three different branches of government and is thus a clear inspiration to the US Founding Fathers:

- The consuls and other magistrates acted as the executive branch, carrying out the laws (just like the President and Cabinet)
- The Senate and the assemblies were the legislative branch and created the laws (Congress)
- Judges enforced laws.
