There were three main branches of the Roman government. These branches are what a lot of present-day governments are based on.

The executive branch consisted of two heads of state or consuls who were elected each year. The consuls sugested laws, maintained the army and were able to veto the actions of others.

The legislative branch or senate held most of the power in the government. This group began as advisors but later became responsible for making laws and policy decisions. Only patricians could be members of the senate, and they served for life.

The magistrates, or government officials, condusted other government business. They were responsible for the judiciary, the marketplace, finances, and the census. They held office for one year.

Roman government- The Roman government was a mix of a democracy and a republic. An interesting fact is that the people of Rome took many of their ideas of government from the Ancient Greeks and they were always fighting each other to get power and they just fought

Why did the Romans create a tripartite government?

The Roman government is erroneously called a tripartite because someone is/was determined to read something into Roman government that was never there, such as a government made up of three components or branches like the government of the United States. The Roman government was a bipartite -- it consisted of two parts, not three. The two parts of the Roman government were the Senate and the Roman people. (SPQR) All the Roman magistrates were members of the senate and they were elected to their offices by the Roman people in the various assemblies. There was no separate justice department. The dispensing of justice fell under the authority of the praetors who were members of the senate.
