I do Classical Civilisations at A-level and this is what Ive been taught:
Tiberius Gracchus changed a law so he could be tribune for the second consecutive year which Rome tradition and religion massively disapproved of. The Senate who had been manipulated by Tiberius for a long time thought enough was enough and got people to club him to death in 133BC
Gaius Gracchus wanted to be a 3rd consecutive tribuneship and led a peaceful protest to the senate. But his followers started to get violent and cause anarchy which in Romans eye's is treason because Gaius technically led an armed revolt.
Consequently Lucius Opimius was granted Senatus Consultum Ultimum which essentially gave him the power to do anything for a short period of time. Gaius knew this and got his own slaves to kill him in 121BC, this was very noble thing for a Roman to do; to commit suicide.

Why is Tiberius Gracchus important to the study of the Roman Empire?
Tiberius Gracchus(and his brother Gaius ten year later) led a struggle to address the plight of the poor. The Gracchi brothers were seen by some modern socialist to have been the first socialists in history. Tiberius Graccus tried implement a land reform that would redistribute land form the large landed estates of the patricians to address the economic plight of the poor. Peasants were being pushed off their farms by rich landowners who expanded their estates using slave labour. They migrated to Rome and lived in abject poverty due to a scarcity of work. They often had to rely on hand-outs by the by the rich by becoming their clients. The brothers tried to address this poverty by redistributing land to the displaced peasants. Tiberius was elected plebeian tribune in 133 BC. He pressed for a land reform by using an old law that limited the amount of land that could be owned any individual. He used another law to establish a commission to oversee the redistribution of land which was made up of himself, his brother Gaius and his father-in-law. The senators, even the liberal ones opposed this as were worried that their lands would be confiscated. They got other tribunes to oppose the reforms. Tiberius then appealed to the people. The senators threatened to prosecute Tiberius after the end of his term. Thus Tiberius stood for re-election. The senators obstructed this. Then several of them attacked him with the help of hired thugs. Tiberius and some 300 of his supporters clubbed to death.
