-Roman senators were appointed not elected as US senators.
-flexibility in moving to lower class to higher class in the US is pretty easy compared to what it was for the Roman’s (this is applicable to who got to run in the senate)
- since only rich people were likely to be the only senators in the Roman republic, the wealthy would be granted lands and other benefits, while the poor were oppressed. All of these things led to the crisis of the 2nd century where Rome was basically left landless.
-In the US we have the freedom to run regardless the family we come out of as long as we are citizens, which opens opportunities to most of the citizens in any state.
-This is a extra but you could speak or write about the difference between US and Roman democracy’s when thinking about this topic.
SIDE NOTE:
Hope this helps! Sorry if this not exactly what you were looking for!
