Question

How did Sulla help turn the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire?

Answer 1

Answer:

He replaced the elected consuls and the Senate with an empire that could be inherited by members of the ruler's family.

Explanation:

Sulla, not being the Emperor in the modern sense of the word, he, however, possessed sole and unlimited power in the republic. His dictatorship dates back to 83-80 years BC, but the period of his sole rule began, in fact, in the 88th, when Sulla was elected consul. He held this post for eight years against all laws, including the Constitution. Formally, democratic institutions existed under him. There was even a second consul. But this consul was 'technical,' fulfilling the will of Sulla. There was a Senate, which was controlled in the same way by a dictator. The death of Sulla did not lead to major changes. The transition to one-man rule was a matter of time.
