How is the U. S. government similar to the roman republic?

The United States has three branches of government similar to the Roman Republic. The Executive Branch (President) is similar to the elected consuls of Rome. The Legislative Branch (Congress) is similar to the Roman assemblies (like the Senate). Finally, the Judicial Branch is similar to the Praetors of Rome.

the court ruled that a state law that banned abortions (except to save the life of the mother) was unconstitutional
