A republic government system is when the people and those they elect to represent them hold the power.

Rome's republic is a tripartite government (3 different parts).

Those three parts are the Magistrates (Consuls), Senate, and Assembly & Tribunes.

They used a system of checks and balances between the three parts of government so no one branch had too much power.
