Detailed explanation-1: -The Roman Republic was founded in 509 B.C.E. after the last Etruscan king that ruled Rome was overthrown. Rome’s next government served as a representative democracy in the form of a republic. Initially, Rome’s wealthiest families, the patricians, held power and only they could hold political or religious offices.
Detailed explanation-2: -A consul was the highest elected public official of the Roman Republic ( c. 509 BC to 27 BC). Romans considered the consulship the second-highest level of the cursus honorum-an ascending sequence of public offices to which politicians aspired-after that of the censor.
Detailed explanation-3: -Why was a dictator chosen to head the government in times of emergency? They thought it was the only effective way to make decisions quickly. How is the American government like the Ancient Roman government and their differences.
