First of all, bear in mind that the Roman Republic was not like present day republics. The officials, although elected by the people, had different responsibilities than our present day officials. Each official had his own area of influence and a higher ranking official could veto the proposals of a lower ranking one. A tribune of the plebs could veto everyone except a dictator. In this way the Romans had their checks and balances.

Government as an Economic Player
So far, you've seen that most economic decisions are made by individual consumers as well as businesses. Although we have a free-market system in the United States, the government still has an important role in the economy. It tries to guide the overall pace of the economy, help maintain steady growth, keep prices stable, and provide public goods and services. Examples of government institutions include state universities and public hospitals. An example of government action came in 2006, when the U.S. government helped stabilize the price of oil by ensuring that oil companies could not raise the price of gasoline above a certain limit. This enabled consumers to continue to afford and use gasoline.
This decision also affected the government - it also needs oil products to run its operations and offices. The government plays the role of consumer even while it's attempting to guide and benefit the economy.
