Slides 9-12
The whole situation involving the king and the two families is hard to follow. So much assassinations and murders that were committed by family members. I can see why the Romans did not want kings. They were afraid of the same thing happening again. The Romans wanted freedom from their rulers, and they realized that with a king in rule, their freedom had a chance to be taken.
Slides 13-22
At the start, the Roman government consisted of only the patricians, which only took up around 2% of the population. The plebeians got no representation. Then the government changed to a republic, which was a combination of a democracy, aristocracy, and monarchy. The government also had 3 branches, just like America does now. Also, both governments have a legal code.
