Thanks for the reply, but that's not what I'm asking, and I did read those threads. I'm not trying to draw specific parallels, I merely want to briefly compare the progression of both governments. I would like to know if that is accurate, and if so, what were the approximate dates of progression.

Maybe you can help me? I'm doing a short presentation on how the United States was founded as a republic of law with the Constitution focused on protecting the Liberty of the people, and quickly grew to the most prosperous and powerful government in the world. However, in recent history the United States is quickly becoming more of a democracy, with a massively expanding government, controlling almost all aspects of life, supported mainly on inflation of currency and high taxes. The average American now has half their money taken by the government in taxes, fees, licenses, and registrations, not to mention the largest tax of all, inflation through creating fiat money, multiplied by fractional reserve banking. It now appears that the United States is expanding into an empire, invading countries across the world, maintaining military bases in countries decades after wars end -- out of 190 countries, the U.S. has bases in 130 -- and expanding forward with globalist agendas such as the U.N., Council on Foreign Relations, and even a North American Union. I'm not very familiar with Roman History, but from what I recall learning in school, the same happened with the Roman government, it started as a very prosperous republic for the people, morphed into a democracy of government bureaucracy, expanded into an empire, which could only be controlled by a dictatorship, and eventually began to collapse under strain. In researching, there are endless opinions and mountains of information, so I thought it might be most effective to ask such a question of those who are likely already gurus. I'm wondering if the above is generally true, the time frames that it took to happen, how the government changed, and if inflation, increasing taxes, and expansion along with the resulting loss of liberty and freedoms of the people eventually put a strain on the government to the point that it was a major contributor to the collapse. I'm most interested in a brief general time frame and any parallels that can be draw with the United States. Thanks for any brief concise answers!
