The Roman Republic vs. the U.S. Republic

In this lesson plan, students will describe the government of the Roman Republic and compare it to the government of the United States.  The lesson will focus on breaking down the groups and branches of both governments to compare them.  Students will learn about the structure and functions of the Roman Republic’s branches (consuls/dictators, magistrates, senators, tribunes/assemblies) and the U.S. republic’s branches (executive, legislative, judicial).  Students will note the similarities and differences in their notes and complete a brief activity to bring it all together.
