The vote in the popular assemblies (the assembly of the soldiers, the assembly of the tribes and the plebeian council) was direct. However, the Roman Republic was not a direct democracy. It was an oligarchy. It was run by rich people.

Yes, but the watchword here is influence, not copied. Many of the Roman principles are incorporated in modern law but they have been modified for the times. However the concepts of personal rights have held almost universally.

The main influence on modern democracy is the concept of checks and balances of power. This today is conceived as separation of the executive, legislative and judiciary branches of the state. A main instrument of checks and balances in the Republic was the Veto. Officers of state of the same rank could veto each other, and officers of higher rank could veto officers of lower rank

It had three assemblies of the people - Centuriate, Tribal and Plebeian, plus ten Tribunes of the plebs who could introduce legislation to the Senate, and had a veto. Much more democratic than today's representative 'democracies'.
