The correct response is: They grew tired of the established monarchy.
The Romans formed a republic after overthrowing their last king, Tarquin the Proud, in 509 BCE, as they sought to establish a system of governance that allowed for more participation and representation among the citizens, moving away from a monarchy that was viewed as corrupt and tyrannical.
