The Romans deposed the last king of Rome because he was a tyrant and overthrew the monarchy and established the Republic to prevent the return of tyranny. This was done by creating two annually elected consuls as heads of state. Having two of them meant that they would counterbalance each other and the shot term of office meant that they could not consolidate personal power.
