Explanation: 

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: -In 509 BCE, a combination of resentment at home and Greek opposition to Roman expansion in the south eventually led to the overthrow of the Etruscan kings of Rome. After Rome overthrew the Etruscans, they instituted a form of government known as a republic.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Tarquin family was expelled from Rome, and the monarchy at Rome was abolished (traditionally 509 bc). Tarquin was said to have provoked a series of attacks on Rome by its neighbours. The Etruscan cities of Caere, Veii, and Tarquinii were defeated by Rome at the Battle of Silva Arsia.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Roman Republic was a democracy. Its government consisted of the Senate and four assemblies: the Comitia Curiata, the Comitia Centuriata, the Concilium Plebis, and the Comitia Tributa.
