How Did Ancient Civilizations Influence Modern Politics?

Imagine a world where big decisions were made by a group of people, like kids picking who gets to be the leader of their game. That's how ancient civilizations worked, and now we use those ideas in our schools, governments, and even sports teams today! For example, democracy came from Greece, where people voted for leaders. The Roman Republic had a system with different groups helping make decisions, kind of like a team project. Today’s politics still feel a bit like that ancient teamwork.
