From Monarchy to Republic

What is a republic, and when, how, and why did Rome turn into one?

A republic is a form a government that is a public matter, it wasn't kept a secret. Rome became a republic in 509 BC when Sextus, the King Superbus's son, had raped Lucretia. Brutus, Collatinus, and Valerius had brought Lucretia's body for the whole city to see. Brutus and Collatinus became the rulers and thats how it became a republic.
