Tarquin and his issues

Tarquin seized power like an old tyrant. After many deaths, Tullia finds a way to marry Tarquin. Tullia makes Tarquin sit on the throne and become king. When S.T. objects, Tarquin throws him down the steps and has him assassinated. He then assassinates any senators that object. Then, his son was drinking and forces himself upon Lucretia. She confesses the ordeal to her family but quickly after commits suicide. Soon, people found out and had the whole family expelled from Rome. Now, rule of kings was replaced by consuls. They were elected officials. They were the people who deal with justice, made law, and commanded the army. In 5th century B.C., the patrician dominance of the government was challenged by the plebs and they eventually refused to serve in the military until laws were written out. Now, both the U.S. has an executive, legislative, and judicial branch of government.
