Nathalia Stevens · Answer 2

Greece and Rome.

Explanation:

Early in its existence the Roman republic was governed by an elite of individuals. However, gradually the laws that permitted certain individuals to control the government were abolished, resulting in the emergence of a new elite that relied on the structure of society to retain its power, rather than the law. Same can be seen the in the case of Greece where political representation was open to a limited section of population. And the American society resembles this patter.
