Why was the government of ancient rome divided into three parts?

c) because there were three roman emperors at the time
d) so that the emperor could employ more citizens

The correct answer is B) so that one group could not get too powerful.

The government of ancient Rome was divided into three parts so that one group could not get too powerful.

The three parts of the Roman Republic were the Consuls, the Senate, and the Assembly. The Roman Republic began in 509 BCE. The Nobles in Rome had overthrown the King and replaced him with two consuls that were elected to serve for a one-year term. The Patricians were the class that could be members of the Roman Senate. The Senate created the laws to rule the Empire. The Assembly was the right that the people or the Plebeians had to assembly and vote. Their strength increased with time.
