The most accurate response to the question of why Rome became a republic is: The king's broad powers allowed him to mistreat his people.

This reflects the historical context in which the last king of Rome, Tarquin the Proud, was overthrown due to his tyrannical rule, leading to the establishment of the Roman Republic to prevent any single individual from holding too much power.
