And furthermore, the Republic failed when it refused to allow Romans born in Cisalpine gaul to become citizens. Caesar was able to take power from the senate by promising them representation. If the senate had been woke, we might be living in Rome rn.
The Romans began to decline when they let Caesar overthrow the republic. Autocracy has no way of resolving disputes peacefully, and so every disagreement with the Emperor devolved into civil war.

In some ways. Our government was patterned off the republic, so there are similarities.
