This is how the Roman Republic became an autocracy

Starting in 133 BC, Roman politicians began breaking already established rules in, or making up entirely new rules to, the Roman Constitution.

They did it so often that in just over 100 years, the constitution became completely meaningless and thus the door was opened to autocratic rule.
