Answer 1

The two features of the Roman government that limited individual power are:

1. The two consuls could veto each other's actions.
2. Dictators could only serve for a six-month term.

These mechanisms ensured that no single individual could hold too much power for an extended period and that decisions required consensus among key leaders.
