Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Identify the structural parallels between the Roman Republic's government and the modern U.S. government's executive, legislative, and judicial branches
Compare specific facts about each system's leadership, lawmaking bodies, courts, legal code, and voting rights
Research and record government facts using a consistent comparative framework
Teaching tips
Specify a period of the Roman Republic and use historical sources alongside the chart; its modern three-branch headings simplify Roman institutions.
Review the remaining completed-chart claims before grading, including presidential election, Roman Senate membership and voting restrictions. Use the supplied key as a starting point, not the only authority.
Remove the duplicated “the” and change “choses” to “chooses” in the editable headings.
Skills covered
Comparative government analysis — students identify structural parallels between Roman and U.S. executive, legislative, and judicial branches.
Historical research — students research and record specific facts about the Roman Republic's consuls, senate, and assemblies.
