With the United States "republic" as the exemplar for modern democracies, a variety of ideas can be identified that gave birth to it. Fundamentally, the American Founders drew from the Roman ideas of representative government with political offices being limited by terms appropriate to their function and the rank of their holder. The Founders drew also from such Greek ideas as direct participation by citizens in their governance and accountability to the citizen-body for all public-office holders.
