How did the Romans treat the senators?
The senators were members of the aristocracy and the wealthy entrepreneurial elites. Therefore, they were treated with the respect due to the top layers of society. There were, however, times of conflict with the senators. One of these was by rich plebeians during the Conflict of the Orders (between patricians and plebeians) of the early Republic in which the rich plebeians fought to gain access to the senate and the consulship (the office of heads of the Republic) which were monopolised by the patrician aristocracy. They eventually succeeded in gaining power-sharing Poor plebeians were often in conflict with the senators through most of the republican period. Poor plebeians often fought for reforms which would relieve the poor and which were opposed by the senators. After the Republic these was at times conflict between the emperor and the senator.

Why were the tribunes added to the republic?
During the period of the Roman Republic, the plebeian tribunes were the representatives of the plebeians, the commoners. They were elected by the plebeians, presided over the Plebeian Council and protected the plebeians from arbitrary action by the officers of state. In the Early Republic they were the leaders of the plebeian movement in the period of the 200-year Conflict of the Orders between patricians (the aristocracy) and plebeians. The rich plebeians wanted power sharing with the patricians who monopolised power. They eventually succeeded in gaining access to the consulship (the office of the two annually elected heads of the Republic), the other offices of state which were created as the Republic developed and some of the priesthood, thus attaining power-sharing. The grievances of the poor plebeians were economic and were not addressed properly. In the late Republic the issue of poverty became a political hot potato. There was strife between the popularis faction which championed the cause of the poor and wanted reforms to help them and the optimate faction which favour the aristocracy and was opposed to the reforms. At times this could spill into violence and even civil war. The plebeian tribunes and the Plebeian Council played an important role in this. There were also the military tribunes who were wealthy young men who aspired to a career in politics and civil service. They were elected as administrative officers of the high military commanders as the first step of their career.

Did the roman republica ran smooth?
The Romans Republic developed a very efficient state. However, it had its conflicts. From 494 BC to 287 BC there was the Conflict of the Orders between the patrician aristocracy and the plebeians, who were the commoners, both rich and poor. The poor plebeians fought for their economic grievances: indebtedness (which at first was due to the nexus, debt bondage, which was the way rich landlords forced the peasants to work for them before their labour was replaced by slaves, and later it was due to interest rates which were still too high) and a shortage of land for the poor (this problems worsened over time as many peasants lost their farms and became landless). The rich plebeians fought to gain access to the offices of state and the senate which were monopolised by the patricians. The plebeians fought with boycotts of the military levy and through plebeian secessions, in which they left the city until the patricians negotiated with them The rich plebeians won their battle, achieved power sharing with the patricians and were co-opted into a patrician-plebeian oligarchy. They were also given equite status. This was the second highest layer of Roman society. At this point the rich plebeians turned their back on the poor whose problems were not addressed properly. Tiberius Gracchus mobilised the plebeians and enacted a land reform law aimed at redistributing land to the landless. He and his supporters were lynched by thugs hired by the patricians in 133 BC. His brother Gaius tried to implement Tiberius' land reform, introduced a grain dole at subsidised prices for the poor and tried to establish settlements around the empire where the poor could set up farms. The patricians mobilised armed Romans and mercenaries to attack his supporters in 121 BC. Tiberius fled and committed suicide. In the last 60 years of the Republic there were 12 civil wars. These were due to clashes between military leaders and the conflict between populares and optimates. The former was a progressive political faction which was sympathetic to the plight of the poor and wanted reforms to help them). The latter was a conservative political faction which favoured the aristocracy and was opposed to reforms.
