I have often read that all democracies lead to tyranny. What did Rome's Republic lead to?...Empire and Caesars (i.e., tyranny).

Our government was formed along the lines of the Iroquois Nation and in fact a Iroquois Chief attended a session of Congress and taught them how to debate. The Indian used the Talking Stick and only a person who held a stick could talk when he was done he would pass the stick on!
And it was done until everyone in present had a chance to speak.
We did with the stick and created positions like Speaker of the House he chooses speakers and alots time!

Thanks for that information. Agreed, there are some commonalities with Haudenosaunee government, but I think the founders were probably more schooled in Rome's government. Some links for what they're worth:
