Answer: False.

Step-by-step explanation:

The form of government in the Roman Republic was different from the modern form of government in the United States. However, there are some similarities. All government functions were elected for one year; only the Censor had a term of five years. The similarity is that each function could be performed by two people, which today we can identify with the deputy ministers and the vice president. Also, there was a right of veto on certain regulations. The consul held the highest authority, who can be associated with the current function of president.
