They expelled the king with the aim of gaining a share in government. The aristocratic Patricians took over, and the Plebs had to threaten secession to get one of the two Consulships, a share of the Senate and the tribal and plebeian assemblies.
Rome became a republic in order to give all citizens a voice in their government. They would no longer put up with the arbitrary rules of a king.
He was in favor of the revolution and republic
The Roman monachy was not a hostory of 244 years of harsh rule. Only its last king was a tyrant. The Romans overthrew the last Roman king in a rebellion in 509 BC because he was a tyrant. They decided to do away with the monarchy and establish a republic to prevent the return of tyranny. Monarchy became associated with tyranny. They created the Roman Republic, which was headed by two annually elected consuls. Having two men in charge meant that they could counterbalance each other. The short term of office ensured that no one could concentrate power in his hands and thus become a tyrant. The Romans also swore that they would not let anyone try to become a king. Trying to become a king was the worst possible accusation .In the 5th century BC one man was killed and his house destroyed and in the 4th century BC another man was executed because of accusations of trying to become a king.
Augustus made the people think Rome was still a republic by not publicly declaring himself emperor, keeping the Senate in the legal system (although tis power was only symbolic), and not giving himself a huge palace. He did all this because he knew the public would not be happy if he was the emperor. Long ago, the Romans had sworn that they would never have another king after the bad rule of Tarquin. The Romans would have probably rebelled if he had declared himself emperor, and he also didn't want to be murdered like his great uncle, Julius Caesar. By not declaring himself emperor, he could have all the power, and not be as afraid of revolt or assassination.
There was none. The Romans hated even the word king and would never tolerate one. However after the fall of the Roman republic Octavian/Augustus was the "princeps" or first citizen. We call him an emperor, not a king.
A republic, Romans thought, would keep any individual from gaining too much power!
what did some delegates to the constitutional convention think a republic would do
Firstly, remember that a legion was the main unit of a Roman army. The Romans would naturally use their legions to conquer new territories. Therefore the legions helped Rome expand during the republic.

The Romans were fed up with the abuses of their kings. After a particularly heinous crime, the Etruscan kings were expelled and driven from Rome. The Romans went on to establish a republic, a government that is run by the people who elect their own leaders.

Only the people who agreed with Brutus thought he was a patriot. The majority of the population supported Caesar and did not think Brutus' action was patriotic. People who thought this saw Brutus as the saviour of the Republic, its liberties and its traditions. Caesar was assassinated because he gave rise to suspicions that he wanted to become a king. This would not only meant the end of the Republic, but also the beginning of Tyranny. Since the Roman Republic had been established with the overthrow of the last king of Rome, who was a tyrant, the Romans associated monarchy with tyranny. The establishment of the Republic was seen as the victory of liberty over tyranny.
