Answer:

C. Classical republic is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The form of government established by the Romans is known as Republic. The government of US is also partly based on the roman model. The republic began when the Romans overthrew the Etruscan conquerors in 509BC, and afterwards the citizens elected their representatives to rule on their behalf. It is very different from democracy, in democracy every citizen plays active role in the government of state while it is not so in the republic. The wealthy people dominated the early Roman republic. The aristocrats were known as Republicans. The lower class citizens were known as plebeians and didn't play any role in the government.
