Why did rome want absolute leaders instead of elected seneters?
Basically the Romans tolerated absolute leaders such as the emperors because they were tired of the civil wars that characterized the final years of the republic. They thought the authority of one man could reign in the various factions competing for power with their armies. The Roman senators were not elected the way our senators are elected today. A man could become a senator by being elected to the office of Quaestor. That was the only way a senator was "elected". Other men were appointed to the senate.
