The Romans finally changed their government after 200 years of the harsh monarchic rule when A group of senators revolted and developed a system in which the people elected their representatives.

Around 509 BC, a political revolution in ancient Rome overthrew the monarchy. The last king of Rome was Lucius Tarquinius Superbus. The Senate installed the Roman Republic. Previously, tensions aroused between Tarquinius and the Senate by different motives and the lack of consultations to the Senate in public and political matters. Furthermore, Tarquinius became unpopular for its decisions. Brutus led the noblemen in Rome that supported the decision of the Senate.
