Rome established a Republic and a system of laws in 509 B.C. in the Latium Plain.
Key members of Roman Society formed a new government after Tarquin the Proud and his son, Sextus, were banished from Rome forever. They were banished because Tarquin was being a tyrant to the people of rome and his son committed acts of brutality against Tarquinia, the mother of Lucius Junius Brutus. She felt that she was a dishonor to the family, so she killed herself .This caused brutus and his associates to revolt against kings. These key members of Roman Society, after banishing the Royal Family, made a new government named the Republic. This government allowed everyone to vote for representatives to make decisions for Rome. Along with the new government, they gave rome a new set of laws that were supposed to be fair for everyone.
