The Latins gave us our alphabet, they came to Rome first. They should rule becasue they were in the perfect location. Tarquin was the last king of Rome, old school type tyrant. He was harsh to the people and not very fair. The Romans loved how the Greeks did things, they modeled almost everything the Greeks did. They decided to get rid of the whole monarchy. Romans moved to democracy. They combined everything together to make respublica (latin for the people's job), combination of 3 governments. They formed the senate, 300 people, they made laws and interprated laws. There were a lot more common people than the rich people. When they first formed the government, it was the rich people ruled everything, rich people on knew the laws and the common people were punished because they didnt know the laws, the common people did the 12 tables and fought against the rich to tell the and keep them informed about the laws. The 12 tables was almost like the 10 ammenments, but it told the common people what the rules were and what the punishments were if they broke a law. The romans liked the idea of a monarchy, but they didnt like how they couln't kick someone out. the common people could veto, the senate elected new people every year.
