I believe A but I am not entirely sure

According to Livy, Brutus' first act after the expulsion of Lucius Tarquinius Superbus was to bring the people to swear an oath never to allow any man again to be king in Rome.

First of all, by swearing an oath that they would suffer no man to rule Rome, it forced the people, desirous of a new liberty, not to be thereafter swayed by the entreaties or bribes of kings. This is, fundamentally, a restatement of the 'private oath' sworn by the conspirators to overthrow the monarchy.

So Probably D. What do you think @Kfins99 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They didn't kill a king, and they wouldn't let any man/person be a king. The answer is D by elimination
