Who ran the republic?

Answer 1

The consuls were the the two annually elected heads of the Republic and the army. The unelected senate was the advisory body of the consuls

At the beginning of the Roman Republic the patricians (the aristocracy) controlled the Roman state by monopolising the consulship the seats of the senate and the priesthoods, which in those days had an important political role. With the 200-year long Conflict of the Orders between patricians and plebeians (the commoners, both rich and poor), the rich plebeians managed to obtain power-sharing with the patricians. They gained access to the consulship and the new offices of state which were created as the Republic developed, the seats of the senate and some of the priesthoods. They were co-opted into a patrician-(rich) plebeian oligarchy.

Answer 2

The Roman Republic was run by two consuls, ten tribunes, and a Senate. The consuls could propose laws as well as senators, but any law could be vetoed by any tribune for any reason. Also theoretically the Roman Citizen could also vote for certain things, but the way the voting blocks were set up the rich, people in the Senate or related to people in the Senate, had more votes than all the poor people combined.
