Detailed explanation-1: -During the Republican period of Rome, political offices and institutions were designed to prevent any one man from becoming too powerful. These systems began to break down in the first century BCE. Rome was able to gain its empire in large part by extending some form of citizenship to many of the people it conquered.
Detailed explanation-2: -Leading the republic were two consuls who were elected by legislative assemblies. They served for one year, presided over the Roman Senate, and commanded the Roman military. Though their power was somewhat limited by the establishment of other magistrate positions, the consuls were effectively the heads of state.
Detailed explanation-3: -Because their last king was a tyrant, Romans said they would never have a king again. Instead, the Romans came up with a different kind of government. They started a republic, a form of government in which citizens choose their leaders by voting. Early Rome was divided into two groups, the patricians and the plebeians.
