In the new Roman republic, the former position of the "king" was replaced by Two Consuls that were appointed to hold executive powers. At that time, the consuls had to be patricians, and were elected for one year terms. The Consuls had great executive powers including command of the army.

In the new Roman Republic, the former position of the overthrown king was replaced by two annually elected Consuls to hold executive powers as heads of the Republic and the army. In the first twenty year of the Republic, 30% of the elected consuls who appeared in the fasti consulares (list of consuls) were plebeians (commoners). After that they were all patrician (aristocrats). The patricians came to monopolise power in what a historian has called the 'closing of the patriciate.' This later led to conflict between patricians and plebeians.
