Rome's government changed with the times. In a weaker phase of Roman development, they had kings. The Roman people overthrew the kings and formed a republic when they realized their power. The republic at first was the ideal form of government, but overtime became corrupt and after a series of civil wars, the Roman people were ready for a principate that incorporated the outward appearance of the republic but was in fact ruled by a single person.
