Constitution of the Roman Republic

The Roman Republic was a period in Roman history that lasted from about 509 BC to about 27 BC. During this time, the Roman people followed a set of laws called the Constitution of the Roman Republic. This constitution made sure that the people of Rome had a say in how their government worked, and it gave them rights to ensure fairness. It also established how the government was organized and how it would work. The Constitution of the Roman Republic set up two parts of the government: the Senate, made up of rich, wealthy people, and the Assembly, made up of normal people who were citizens of Rome. The Senate was responsible for making laws, while the Assembly was responsible for debating and approving laws and electing officials. The Constitution of the Roman Republic also set up the magistrates, who were responsible for enforcing the laws, and the consuls, who were the highest-ranking officials in the Roman Republic.
