Daily
There are multiple things that are apparent in our modern legal and political systems that were created by the ancient Romans. One of these things is the power of the people. The ancient Romans would vote for their senators. Americans do the same thing in modern times in voting for government officials and other non-governmental positions. Another example of this is the power of someone in the government to veto a bill or reform. This was created by the Plebs who were on the brink of revolting against the Patricians. The president now has this power, but the veto may be over ruled by a two-thirds majority.
