Question

1 which details indicate that the ancient roman senate wanted power? choose three. they overthrew the monarchy they set up a new government and called it a republic they did not give plebeians power in the new government the kings power went to the consuls the consuls had to listen to the senate

Explanation:

1. "They did not give plebeians power in the new government" shows the senate (dominated by patricians) wanted to keep power for themselves by excluding plebeians.
2. "The king's power went to the consuls" - but consuls were influenced by the senate, and taking the king's power (a source of authority) shows a grab for power.
3. "The consuls had to listen to the senate" directly shows the senate had authority over consuls, indicating they sought power.

The other options: Overthrowing the monarchy was a step to change governance, setting up a republic was a form of government, but not direct indicators of the senate's desire for power compared to the three chosen.

Answer:

• They did not give plebeians power in the new government
• The king's power went to the consuls
• The consuls had to listen to the senate
