The Roman Republic had several items in place to keep any one part of the government from having all the power, including a group of men called tribunes who could veto select items and completely stop acts of administration, limited terms and specific requirements for members in order to move up in the government. Many governments in the modern world are based, at least in part, on the model of the Roman Republic, including the United States.
Are you kidding? The Roman Republic ended when the Roman Empire was established with the first emperor.

Please stop trying to educate us, it is painful.
