The New Rome?

Due Tuesday, March 2nd

The United States is often compared with the Roman Empire. Many of our laws come from Roman laws. Our government is modeled after the Roman Republic. Even our government buildings are modeled after Roman architecture. The Roman Empire was once considered the greatest empire in the world and the United States is now considered to be the world's only "super power." However, like all great empires, after years of decline the Roman Empire eventually fell.

Is the United States destined to fall as the once great Roman Empire did?


How are the United States and the Roman Empire similar?
