Best Answer

when the Romans deposed the last king of Rome because he was a tyrant they created the Roman Republic with the aim of preventing the return of tyranny. They created the consuls, who were the two annually elected heads of the Republic. Having two men in charge meant that the two could counterbalance each other. This, the very short term of office and the elections were designed to prevent any man from concentrating power in his hands. The Romans also swore not to allow anyone to try to become a king. In the early republic one man was forced to commit suicide and another was executed because of accusations of trying to become a king.
