To give equal citizenship rights to former slaves
In ancient Rome, people who were not granted citizenship included slaves, freedmen (former slaves who were granted freedom but not citizenship), and inhabitants of conquered territories. Additionally, women, while they had certain rights, did not possess full citizenship status. Moreover, certain social classes, such as the lower classes and non-Roman tribes, were also excluded from citizenship rights.
They gave citizenship and voting rights to former slaves. Made slavery illegal.
The short term significance would be that it granted citizenship to former slaves the long term would be that it defined citizenship at national level and no longer a state level.
