Teaching The Roman Republic

The Roman Republic

The Romans demanded a type of government that gave the common people a say in how things were run. For the first 200 years of Roman rule, leaders rose to power either because they were born as kings or because they conquered a state. But the Romans began a system where rulers were elected by the people to rule on their behalf. This was a very new idea. What they ended up with became a whole new form of government called a republic.
