Detailed explanation-1: -The government in the early years of the Roman Republic had 3 branches-The Consuls, The Senate, and The Assembly. Each branch had various powers.
Detailed explanation-2: -Originally, the title praetor was restricted to a magistrate, but c. 337 bc the office was opened to plebeians. Until c. 242 bc there was only one praetor who handled matters of equity between Roman citizens. At that time a second praetor was established to handle suits in which one or both parties were foreigners.
Detailed explanation-3: -The most significant magistrates were the two consuls, who presided over the Senate, led armies, and could veto proposals. Other magistrate positions included the praetors, aediles, and quaestors, with the censors being a special role for ex-consuls.
