How did the ancient rome government have an impact on American government?
An very important influence on the formation of the American government was the French philosopher Montesquieu, who picked up and redeveloped Aristotle's idea of mixed constitution and checks and balances of power. He also drew on the interpretation of the ancient Greek scholar Polybius of the institutions of the Roman Republic as a mixed constitution which provided separation of powers and checks and balances of power. However, this was just his interpretation and not how the Romans saw their institutions or how they developed them. Moreover, what Montesquieu had in mind for his model was Britain, not ancient Rome. Ancient Roman politics, society and institutions were too different from those of 18th century world to be of any relevance.

What source did the framers draw in writing the constitution?
Several of the ideas in the Constitution were new, and a large number of ideas were drawn from the literature of Republicanism in the United States, from the experiences of the 13 states, and from the British experience with mixed government. The most important influence from the European continent was from Montesquieu, who emphasized the need to have balanced forces pushing against each other to prevent tyranny. (This in itself reflects the influence of Polybius' 2nd-century BC treatise on the checks and balances of the constitution of the Roman Republic.) john Locke is known to have been a major influence, and the due process clause of the United States Constitution was partly based on common law stretching back to the Magna Carta of 1215.
