In Ancient Rome, they fought to be the ruler of the country. For example, the ruler Julius Caesar from 49-44 B.C destroyed the bridge built for 4,000 people and horses to walk on to cross the river, and then he took the throne to be the ruler. On the other hand, in Modern U.S, we elect and vote for rulers/presidents of the country. Recently, in Modern U.S we elected Donald Trump to be our president. There were two people trying to be president but Donald Trump won with more votes so now he is our president.

dictatorship.
Three recommendations that Modern U.S can take in from Ancient Rome are within the way people acted to make it fall. People were very hubris in Ancient Rome. They thought a lot of themselves and they didn’t think of others, not poor or rich. Nero who was a ruler in Ancient Rome from 54-68 A.D was very selfish and thought everyone lived for his needs and no one else’s. Also, they had a greedy and self-serving leadership in Ancient Rome. This was when they also thought a lot of themselves and helped themselves to things they could have gotten help from the government with. Finally, they had a breakdown of loyalty toward leadership in Ancient Rome. For example, there was a leader in the government, but not everyone gave that leader a lot of attention like we do in Modern U.S.
