How Roman Republic changed overtime

For 200 years early Rome was ruled by a series of Kings. Rome was upset at the way they were being treated. They decided to overthrow the King and this was the beginning of the Roman Republic. A large group of men ran the Roman Republic and were called members of the Senate. The Senate was made up from rich families. The senate would advise the consuls. Consuls were the top of the Roman Republic. This was a very powerful position. This all changed when Julius Caesar decided to take in an army and force the Senate into new leadership. This new leadership was called a dictatorship. At this time the Senate lost all of its power. The person that lead the government was now called an Emperor.
