why not The king's broad powers allowed him to mistreat his people.
The answer could be subjective, but historically, the Roman monarchy was overthrown due to the mistreatment of the last king, Tarquin the Proud, who was known for his cruelty and oppressive reign. However, the Roman republic was not solely established because of the mistreatment of the people by the monarchy, but it was also due to the aristocrats' dissatisfaction with the king's absolute power. Therefore, both options could be valid, but the primary reason for the establishment of the Roman republic was the misuse of power by the aristocrats.
