The government of the Roman Empire used to be an autocracy, meaning a rule by one person, which was the emperor. The Empire then switched to a republic or a representative democracy, which is actually the most used form of government today (as almost every country in the Western World uses it). This is also where the name the Roman Republic comes from.
