The Roman Republic fell because of the stubbornness of some of the senators. The Senate, at the time of Julius Caesar (the effective end of the Republic) was split into two main groups. They were the Optimates and the Populists. The Optimates were the "good 'ol boys" who wanted things the way they always were, that is power in the hands of select families--theirs. The Populists were the reform group of senators led by Julius Caesar, who advocated debt and land reform among other things. Both sides were equally stubborn and uncompromising. After Caesar's victories in the civil war, the Senate became nothing more than a powerless, rubber stamp for Caesar and Caesar's acts.
