Help in a test quick!! Explain in four to five sentences the types of government Rome used to govern its citizens.

Answer 1

• Rome governed its citizens through two distinct forms of government in two distinct periods.

• The first was a monarchy run by the Etruscan rulers and the second was a republic run by elected representatives.

Explanation:

• For hundreds of years until 509 BCE, Rome was functioning under the monarchy of the Etruscan rulers.

• In 509 BCE, the Romans planned, united, and overthrew the Etruscan rule.

• The Romans then intelligently planned a system that would offer representation to all the classes of the society in the government and called it a republic.
