Think about the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire. How were these two governments the same? How were they different? Keeping in mind your previous answers, write one paragraph that describes the similarities and differences (100–150 words).

In the early years of the Roman Republic, elected leaders ruled in three government bodies: the consul, the Senate, and the Assembly. This government had a system of checks and balances in place to keep leaders from abusing power. Later the republic was ruled by three men who formed a triumvirate. In contrast, the Roman Empire had a single emperor: Augustus and later others. These leaders were all-powerful and were not elected to power.

One similiarty of both governments is that they had a Senate. The territory of Rome also expanded through military invasions under both goverments. And both governments struggled to raise enough money through taxes.
