High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Term limits apply to many offices at both the federal and state level in the United States. In the U.S. term limits date back to the American Revolution. Term limits, or rotation in office, date back to the American Revolution, and prior to that to the democracies and republics of antiquity. The council of 500 in ancient Athens rotated its entire membership annually, as did the ephorate in ancient Sparta. The ancient Roman Republic featured a system of elected magistrates tribunes of the plebs, aediles, quaestors, praetors, and consuls who served a single term of one year, with reelection to the same magistracy forbidden for ten years. Many of the founders of the United States were educated in the classics, and quite familiar with rotation in office during antiquity. The debates of that day reveal a desire to study and profit from the object lessons offered by ancient democracy.
