Among many things some of the more important concepts borrowed by the USA from ancient Greece and ancient Rome were the rights of citizens to vote; to have people accused of a crime be entitled to a jury trial. In ancient Athens for a good period of time, there existed a "democracy" From Rome, the idea of written laws. In addition Rome also had a system for citizens to vote. These essentials for a representative government were lost for ages. The USA placed these basics in US laws. In the era that the USA was formed, few nations had these basic rights in law.
