In the days of the republic, government officials were elected and most could select their own assistants. They were usually men from prominent families, either of the wrong age to run for public office on their own, or a politically connected family. In the days of the principate, the major officials were appointed, and generally the officials could select their own working partners, but there were times when the emperor appointed assistants as well. Many times an official was appointed on the basis of who he knew, not on what he knew.

DevinBefore 509 BC, Rome was ruled by a king. Then, the city established the Roman Republic which was headed by two annually elected consuls who replaced the king. The other institutions of the monarchy, the senate as an advisory body, the assembly of the tribes and the assembly of the soldiers as voting bodies, were retained. A rebellion by the plebeian movement created the plebeian council which over time became the main legislative body. After the Republic power became concentrated in the hands of a single ruler who was called princeps and later dominus. These men are now usually called emperors.
Ideally, a new emperor was designated as heir by the previous emperor. However, in the later empire, the man with the most military backing (and money) became emperor.

The Roman Republic was governed by the Senate, an assembly of ex-officeholders rather like the "life peers" in the British House of Lords. Executive power was normally vested in twwo Consuls, elected by the Senate, or, in times of Crisis, to a Dictator with absolute power. This system broke down in the last century BC, and after a series of civil wars was replaced by the Empire. This vested absolute power in an Emperor, who might or might not pretend to take the Senate seriously as a "colleague". Effectively, the Emperor was chosen by the Roman Army, and despite the occasional "run" of good ones (notably in the 2nd Century AD) the Imperial Constitution became essentially "despotism tempered by assassination".

What government arose after the fall of roman republic?
The Roman Republic was followed by 503 years of rule by emperors.
Which government preceded did the roman republic pass on to future civilizations?
The phrasing is unclear. The form of government which preceded the Roman Republic was the Roman Monarchy. The Republic was followed by rule by emperors. However, the Republic did not pass this on to future civilisations because: 1) it was the collapse of the Republic, rather than some sort of handover; 2) no future civilisation tried to replicate Rome's period of rule by emperors or, for that matter, the Roman Monarchy.
