Describe the Roman Republic by defining a republic and why the Romans wanted this setup.

The reason is 2 fold, so let first define what a republic is by contrasting it with democracy.

A republic is where the people elect other people to make policies, rather than a democracy, where people do governmental policies themselves by themselves.

In essence a republic is a little bit more fair than a democracy, because in a democracy the majority always wins.

So, that’s one of the reasons why the Romans wanted a republic, because it’s more stable and more fair.

Another reason is because of their disdain for the monarchy that once ruled over them; and based on that delicate balancing act of having the aristocrats rule whilst ensuring that none of them would grow powerful.

I hope that helps.
