The Etruscan civilisation decayed by the 2nd century BC. The Etruscans became romanised and Latin replaced their language. Very little writing in the Etruscan language has survived. Only two unified texts in Etruscan have survived and they are fragmentary. One of them has 1,200 legible words and the other has 300 legible words. Other inscriptions range from 200 to 40 words. Most of the texts are religious.
Because of this very little is known about Etruscan history or systems of government. Moreover, the Etruscans did not have a unified state one ruler. Etruria (and of the Etruscans) was a collection of independent city-states. Twelve city-states were the prominent states of Etruria. Generally, these states were ruled by kings.

The Etruscan government style changed from total monarchy to oligarchic democracy (as the Roman Republic) in the 6th century BC.
Roman ruling only influenced the American government in the fact that both governments were republics. The American founding fathers certainly studied the Roman government, but could see its flaws and changed them considerably. Many people try to read similarities into the two governments where they do not and can not exist.
The Romans adopted many customs from the Etruscans including the arch and layout of the temple, the Etruscan alphabet, the reading of the future, the art of bronze making and some aspects of the Roman government.
