WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Occasionally, an emergency situation (such as a war) arose that required the decisive leadership of one individual. Under these circumstances, the Senate and the consuls could appoint a temporary dictator to rule for a limited time until the crisis was resolved. The position of dictator was very undemocratic in nature.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix (/ˈsʌlə/; 138–78 BC), commonly known as Sulla, was a Roman general and statesman. He won the first large-scale civil war in Roman history and became the first man of the Republic to seize power through force.

Detailed explanation-4: -A dictator, however, could be created by comitial legislation at the proposal of other magistrates, as Sulla and Caesar later were. Consular nomination occurred in a nocturnal ritual, usually preceded by advice from the Senate asking for a specific person to be appointed, but this was not strictly necessary.
