You forgot to include the options for this question. However, we can say the following.
Some Romans believed that an empire would better serve Rome’s needs than a Republic because "The emperor could make decisions quickly without our having to convince others."
When the Roman Republic was established in 509 BCE, the system was based on democracy and the creation of rules to serve the people. The Senate was an important institution for the Roman Republic and the Roman law influenced other legislations until the modern-day era.
