    I am intrigued as to their system of electing two of everything. I think that could help alleviate a lot of our problems. Two attorney generals, to secretaries of Agriculture or state, Etc.

    More than anything though I think we should reestablish the Tribunate, vested with the power to veto government actions and offer sanctuary and all that.

        Well, the Tribunate helped curtail be Patricians excesses for 400 plus years. Quite a bit longer than we have as a country.

        I think they got their first ones around 500 BC when the plebs did a general strike encamping to a hill.

        Then they had another general strike what was it 300 BC ish where they got more tribunes and got some other reforms.
