I would want to be a Patrician because they are rich and they have power in government but people don't get mad at them because of their decisions.
The plebeians were the lower class. They included farmers and workers. The patricians were the upper class. They were the wealthy land owners.
The Twelve Tables were written by commissioners at the insistence of the plebeians, who felt their rights were unfair because the court would make new rules that the plebeians didn't know about so they would get punished. These tables were posted so everyone knew the rules and they couldn't change them.
The last Etruscan king was overthrown and in its place a republican form of government was created. The checks and balances in Rome in the early republic were several. The ruler served the Senate, which was made up of the landed class. The Senate had its power checked by the Tribunes.
Both the Roman republic and US have three branches of government. America's three branches are executive, judicial, and legislative. Rome's were The Consuls, The Senate, and The Assembly. Also, they both have a supreme leader, a dictator and a president. Last, the two governments used the system of checks and balances. One difference is that in Ancient Rome any citizen could appeal to the dictator. In the US, there are many steps in appealing and you have to go through a lot of smaller trials.
