Best Answer

The Romans overthrew Tarquinius Superbus because he was a tyrant. They decided abolish the monarchy to prevent the return of tyranny. This was the purpose of the republic. The king was replaced by two annually elected consuls. Having two men in charge meant that they could counterbalance each other. The short term of office meant that no one could concentrate power in their hands.

Did Augusts save the Roman Republic or destroy it?

Augustus neither saved the Roman republic nor did he destroy it, he changed it. The Roman Republic had self-destructed by the time of Julius Caesar. Augustus, being one of the most politically astute men in history, used the mechanisms of the Republic to consolidate the power in himself. Thus, the change from Republic to Principate was for the most part a smooth transition. This was aided by the fact that the Romans were sick and tired of the civil wars and that Augustus had a long reign so the idea of the Principate could be firmly established.
