The Roman monarchy was __________.
The Roman monarchy was initially an elected position, before later becoming a hereditary position. In the early years of the Roman Kingdom, once a king died, the Senate was convened to choose a new king. Through a lengthy process, the king would be approved by the people, the Gods, and the Senate once more, before imperium (or, “the right to rule”) was conferred upon him. During the latter years of the Roman Kingdom, the position became hereditary and was passed down the line of succession by the Tarquin Monarchy.
