Roman Government

The peoples shock at this horrible family and their terrible behavior made them NEVER want to be subject to the rule of kings EVER again - this was an attitude that lasted for centuries

3 GOVERNMENTS ----> ONE

  • Rule of kings is replaced by rule of 2 consuls ("gotta be better than one")
  • Consuls are elected officials 
  • Term of office - one year
  • Always aristocrats (patricians) 
  • Patricians traced their descent from famous ancestors or pater ("father")
  • Duties: dealing justice, making law, commanding the army
  • One consul could veto the other (reducing the power of the individual)
