Goals another tribe invaded them...Then the Roman Senate knew that collective decsion making is not strong enough to lead a war..
DICTATOR
So they created a Designation and named it DICTATOR
So the Dictator need not to listen to Senate ... He can run his own way.. What ever he does he is not responsible to the court... He is immune for his activities...He can maintain Dictatorship for 6 months and then handover the powers back to senate...
Who will do that....
Cincinnatus became the world first dictator as per the meaning ... ended war against Galls within 16 days handed over the Power to Senate and went back to farming.....

Julius Ceasar became so popular and those who suspected he is trying to be a Emperor stabbed him...ET TU BRUTE...(Is it you Sirisena?)
Next Octavian became a real emperor and renamed as Augustus Ceasar... He was the reason behind real success of Rome...
===========================================
There was a family by the name of Medici in Italy, Florence. This family continued the dynasty for centuries.. Florence became the beautiful city.. Michael Angelo, Leornardo Da Vinci, Gallelio were the brilliant people of that era...
All of sudden everyone rose against Medici family... Church, general public ,intellectuals stood against family..Michiavelli wrote Prince against family... Zemenolla lead Christians against family... Family was chased out...Republic was created... No more artists, no more scientists... the city became a museum...

============================================
Maurya empire spread throughout India.. King Ashok became the Great King.. In india there were King lead countries as well as senate based countries.. Senate based countries were known as Janapada... King Ashok's final invasion was Kalinga Desha...It was a Janapada and King Ashok got fed up with fighting with People than one mighty Emperor... He gave up his Maurya style... and his son and daughter both became Buddhist practitioners who don't heir empire...
Once mighty Maurya city was lost... India once described as a marvelours city was later described as endless sea of poor villages...

============================================
There is a tiny Island called Ceylon..It started with Janapada system with Prince Vijaya..Anuradha senavi made his city named as Aunradhapura and not as Vijaya pura after the prince... Upatissa senavi made his city upatissa gama etc...This system was very weak for a tiny island like Sri Lanka and without surprise two sales reps by the name of Sena Guththika captured the kingdom.. King Dutugamunu became the first Executive King of the land and what ever project done by others became his project.. ( Vehera gan thota)..So the sri lankans were safe with this system..
Executive presidency is visualized by the citizens similar to Executive Kingship... So if Maithripala Sirisena buillt a school in Polonnaruwa, still has to have the name of Rajapaksha Vidyalaya... ( I ve mentioned this some where even before MS became the presidential candidate)
======================================
Ok lets try Republic system in SL
When Founding Fathers of USA got together in Philadelphia to create their own constitution they studied Rome .. It was 1776 and they were studying what happened 300 bc. They almost created a modern Rome .. they removed all mistakes and predicted for future. Thomas Pain, Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin and many other self made self educated continued arguing until they compromised on the constitution...Thanx to them we see an advanced economy...
Jews created Israel giving life to a dead language called Hebrew and studying Torah..
Arent we Sri Lankansa argue on our future and just become modern and think blindly what is in India is good for us...
for Sri Lanka powerful emperors often made country develop than weak senate
