Answer:

The answer to the question: How is the U.S Constitution influenced by the ideas of the Greco-Roman and Judeo-Christian, is, that the Framers of the U.S Constitution, and the Founding Fathers, all had backgrounds and roots, and also education, that linked them to these ideologies that were typical of Europe. Since most of them were formed in Europe, and had European background, they were exposed to the ideals both of Greece and Rome, and then Christian beliefs that were born from the Judeo-Christian past. It is to be remembered that aside from most of the Framers and Founding Fathers being of Christian origins, they were exposed to the political and social ideas present in Europe, which originated from Europe´s interest in returning to the bases of classical antiquity, Rome, and Greece. These ideals were reflected in the text of the U.S Constitution.

the framers of the constitution were heavily influenced by Graeco -roman classical and The judo-christian tradition found in the bible and other authorities such as early fathers writings.
The Graeco- roman views of democracy and justice were of prime importance and such philosophers such as aristotle,plato,cicero and Tacitus had their thoughts serves as reference points.
teh bible views of good verses evil as explained and posited by early fathers such as Luther, Augustine, and Aquinas were also important reference points.
