How did class conflict shape the Roman Republic?
It led to a dictator running the republic.
It led to enslaved people gaining more rights.
O It led to the establishment of the Twelve Tables.
It led to Cincinnatus becoming a consul for Rome.

The correct answer is It led to the establishment of the Twelve Tables.

The Roman Republic was a period in the history of Roman civilization that lasted 500 years, from 509 B.C. to 27 B.C. when it was ruled by senators and magistrates.

During this time, Rome organized its institutions and made important military conquests that guaranteed the dominance of the Mediterranean Sea.

The Roman Republic has its origin in the year 509 BC, when the last Etruscan king is deposed and the Senate assumes the functions of government.

After the monarchical experience, the Romans choose not to leave power in the hands of a single individual. Therefore, they eliminated the figure of the king and all positions should be held by two or more people.

Thus, there was not the figure of a single ruler, but two, called consuls. These had a one-year term and were to control each other.

Explanation:

separation of powers, therefore, refers to the division of government responsibilities into distinct branches to limit any one branch from exercising the core functions of another.   the intent is to prevent the concentration of power and provide for checks and balances.  

the traditional characterizations of the powers of the branches of american government are:

* the legislative branch is responsible for enacting the laws of the state and appropriating the money necessary to operate the government.

* the executive branch is responsible for implementing and administering the public policy enacted and funded by the legislative branch.

* the judicial branch is responsible for interpreting the constitution and laws and applying their interpretations to controversies brought before it.

forty state constitutions specify that government be divided into three branches:   legislative, executive and judicial.   california illustrates this approach; "the powers of state government are legislative, executive, and judicial.   persons charged with the exercise of one power may not exercise either of the others except as permitted by this constitution."

while separation of powers is key to the workings of american government, no democratic system exists with an absolute separation of powers or an absolute lack of separation of powers. governmental powers and responsibilities intentionally overlap; they are too complex and interrelated to be neatly compartmentalized. as a result, there is an inherent measure of competition and conflict
