Roman Government

The roman government went through many changes over it's many years. It first started out having tyrants, people who had absolute power. There were 7 tyrants that ruled over Rome at one time. But at 509 B.C. the people struck up in revolt and over threw the Roman Monarchy and made a government of their own. This Government was called a Republic. In this Government there are checks and balances so that one part of the Government doesn't become to powerful, it is very similar to the government we have today. The three Parts were Democracy, Aristocracy, and Monarchy.
