At the beginning of the Roman Republic the patricians monopolised political power by monopolising the consulship (the office of the two annually elected heads of the Republic), the senate and the priesthoods.
The power was distributed equally between the patricians and plebeians. At first, the patricians held the power and authority, but the plebeians gained their rights and then some, as towards the last half of the republic one consul had to be a plebeian.

The patricians were an aristocracy which gained its status by claiming descent from the clans of the first senators appointed by Romulus, and by monopolising the priesthoods, which gave them status and power as religion regulated public and private life and even political and military processes. They considered themselves superior to all others as aristocracies do. In the first period of the Republic they monopolised political power.
There were not any distinctions in citizenship status between the Romans. At first there were no laws making such differentiations and as the law developed, there was just one citizenship status: Romans. This status and the rights that came with it were the same for all Roman citizens. Social distinctions were not based on the law.
There were rich and poor plebeians. The rich ones were an elite which was excluded from political power. They fought to obtain access to the offices of state and the senate and for power-sharing with the patricians. They succeeded in obtaining this. The poor plebeians fought over the issues of mistreatment of defaulting debtors, the lowering of interest rates on loans, and land redistribution. They were not equal to either the patricians or the rich plebeians because they were poor.

Well, because patricians and plebeians are different levels (money wise)
It was the Conflict of the Orders between the patricians (the aristocrats) and the plebeians (the commoners)
Patricians (wealthy land owners who held the most power) and the plebeians (common farmers, artisans and merchants who made up most of the population).The major power struggles in the very early republic were between the Patricians and the Plebeians. In the later republic, the power struggles were between the Optimists and the Populists.
All Roman citizens had the same rights. In the period of the early Roman Republic the patricians monopolised political power by monopolising he consulship (the office of the two annually elected heads of the Republic) and the seats of the senate. Over time the rich plebeians achieved power-sharing.
they are fighting because the plebeians don't want for the patricians to take over everything. the patricians were to greedy. the patricians and the plebeians fighting over land.
The patricians were the aristocracy and the plebeians were the commoners (all non-patrician) both rich and poor. In the Early Roman Republic the patricians monoplosised power. All the consuls (the two annually elected heads of the city and the army and the senators were patricians). There was a 200-year long Conflict of the Orders between patricians and plebeians where the rich plebeians fought for power-sharing with the patricians. They obtained this and they were co-opted into a patrician-plebeian oligarchy.
The patricians were heads of aristocratic families and the plebians were the common people.

No the conflicts between patricians and plebeians did not lead to civil wars. The Conflict of the Orders between patricians and plebeians ended in the mid-3rd century BC. The Roman civil wars stared in the 1st century BC. The civil wars involved a conflict between the populares, a political faction which supported the cause of the poor, and the optimates, a conservative political faction which supported the interests of the aristocracy. They also involved personal rivalries.
The patricians were the aristocrats and the plebeians were the commoners.
It was a political struggle between the Plebeians (commoners) and Patricians (aristocrats) in the Roman Republic 494 to 287 BCE, with the Plebeians pursuing political equality with the Patricians.

The plebeians were the commoners. In the early republic the concern of the rich plebeians was to attain power-sharing with the patricians (the aristocrats) who monopolised political power . They achieved this in the 20-year Conflict of the Orders between patricians and plebeians. The concerns of the poor plebeians were economic: indebtedness, the interest rates of loans and shortages of land for poor farmers.
