Augustus changed the government from one of being controlled by a bickering, self-serving senate to a principate in which one person or "first citizen" retained the authority. He also appointed capable men to the senate and to other offices, regardless of their birth. He established a smooth running bureaucracy to administer the government. He redivided the city into wards which made it more easily serviced.
