The Roman aristocracy became obsessed with individual power, and their contests descended from political rivalry to civil war. After failed attempts by Sulla and Julius Caesar to use dictatorial power to restrain the infightiing, Augustus established a partnership with the Senate, and kept reserve powers to ensure that he had both over-riding control, and control of the army to enforce it as necessary.
First, understand that the Roman Republic was an empire. As soon as Rome began expanding under the republic, by conquest or treaty, and began ruling these provinces or territories under Roman law, it became an empire. Octavian gained an empire by his victory over Antony. The government that Octavian/Augustus formed was not an "empire" but a principate, where one person held all the authority, rather than authority being held by an elected few.

The Roman empire was an empire before Augustus. It was an empire under the republican form of government. In other words Rome was governed as a republic before Augustus. During and after Augustus the empire was governed by the principate form of government.
During the republic form of government, the selecting of officials was in the hands of the people. During the form of government called the empire, the officials were appointed by the emperor, or, if voting were allowed, the emperor's man always won.
The unicorn they ride is different, the Republic has magic white ones.
They helped make Rome an empire........I think
The most notable change in galactic gov't was the change from the Republic to the Empire. After the Galactic Empire it then changed to the New Republic and finally the Galactic Alliance.
Certainly. A republic can become am empire and an empire can become a republic, or several republics. Any form of government can be changed into any other form of government.
Julius Caesar actually contributed very little to the change in government. Rome was an empire under the republic. It's government was not changed from the republican form of government to the principate form of government (which is erroneously called the empire) until the reign of Augustus, fourteen years after Caesar's death. The only possible connection Caesar could have to the governmental change was that he accepted the position of dictator for life, foreshadowing the principate.Julius Caesar actually contributed very little to the change in government.

In comparing a republic and an empire, you are trying to compare apples and oranges. An empire is a large holding. A republic is a form of government. The two have only a marginal relationship. An empire can be any large conglomerate, such as an industrial empire, a publishing empire, a financial empire or a political empire. A republic, as said above is a form or type of government. In a republic the people elect their officials to speak for them. A political empire, such as the Roman empire, can be ruled by a republic form of government, and it was for a time, until the principate form of government replaced the republic and ruled the empire. A more recent empire, the British empire, was ruled by a monarchy. A political empire can be ruled by various forms of government, with a republic being one of the types of government.
Roman changed their government so everyone would have a decision in who they where deciding on the leader, or empire.
Rome changed government over the yers and soon ended up being a kingdom, a republic and then an empire. (sorry if this doesn't help!)
Boys were taught discipline as many were to eventually become soldiers. They changed into a empire.

Rome did not go from a republic to an empire. They are two different things. The republic was/is a form of government while an empire is a political holding. Rome was an empire under the republican form of government. What is generally referred to as the "empire" is properly called the principate, in which the empire was ruled by one person rather than the collective senate.Rome did not go from a republic to an empire.

The republic was run by a coalition of citizen assemblies and senate, the empire by a coalition of emperor and senate.
Rome was an empire under the Republican form of government. The republican form of government collapsed due to civil wars and political infighting. After the battle of Actium, Rome had the one man rule of an emperor, but the empire itself had already been firmly established.
