Rome became a republic because the king's broad powers allowed him to mistreat his people. The dissatisfaction with the tyrannical rule of the last king, Tarquin the Proud, led to the establishment of a republican system of government that aimed to limit the powers of any single individual and provide a system of checks and balances.

Some reasons why Rome was able to expand include:
-
The maniple was a flexible military unit - This innovative military formation allowed for greater maneuverability and adaptability on the battlefield, contributing to Rome's military success.
-
Rome would give citizenship to loyal allies - By extending citizenship to those who were loyal, Rome was able to foster alliances, gain support, and integrate conquered peoples into the Roman system, promoting loyalty and stability.
-
The Roman soldiers built roads and bridges - The construction of extensive road networks facilitated the movement of troops, supplies, and trade, which in turn supported both military campaigns and economic expansion.
The option "The Romans stayed isolated from others" does not accurately reflect the reasons for Rome's expansion, as Rome actively engaged with and conquered surrounding territories.
