When the Greeks came up with the idea of democracy, it worked well for them due to the fact that they were independent city-states, and the population was not as great. When the Romans came along, they based most of their ideas on Greek lifestyle. They created a republic due to the large population of the "empire". The people would vote on senators, who would then vote on the leaders. Originally there were three leaders of Rome, Among these Marc Anthony and Julius Cesar. The constitution allowed for the choosing of dictator in times of crisis. When Julius Cesar became dictator, he didn't give up power after the determined 6 months. After Julius's assasination the republic falls, and is preceded by emperors.
