Rome had three forms of government It was a monarchy for 144 years (753-509 BC), then a Republic for 482 years (509-27 BC). After that it was ruled by emperors. During the monarchy, after the death of the king there was an interregnum (period in between reigns) where the senate selected a candidate for the next king and the popular assembly elected the king. The Republic was headed by two annually elected consuls. They were elected by the assembly of the soldiers. All officers of state were elected annually, except for the censors who were elected every 18 months. With rule by emperors the emperor chose his successor. Later in this period emperors were often proclaimed by the troops, who chose one of their military commanders. This was because the army became a powerful political force.

What caused each change in Romes government the roman republic?

The government of the Roman Republic changed automatically. The consuls, the two heads of the Republic, were elected annually. The one-year term of office meant that the government changed annually. The Republic did not have a centralised form of executive government, like an administration or a cabinet. There were five types of elected officers of state who acted independently within the remit of their office.
