Rome didn’t always have a republic, it was ruled by a king and the king made saw , but after the last king was brought down Rome me a new form of government called the Republic.
At first, the people did not trust this new form of government and they fought among themselves. The two most famous groups where the patricians and the plebeians. The plebian where very confused and wanted a written law, so some very prominent people wrote a law coke called the ‘’Twelve Tables’’. Then a after they wrote that they appointed people like: Judges, jurists, and lawyers, a lot of these government officials still exist today.
Rome’s legal system was surprisingly well built for its time, which I think helped it stay alive for all the years it was an empire.
