Best Answer

The plebeians were excluded from political power by the patrician aristocracy, which monoploised the seats of the senate and the consulship (the office of the two annually elected heads of the Republic) and the priesthoods. The rich plebeians fought for power-sharing and eventually gained access to the consulship and the other elected offices of state which were created as the republic developed, the senate and some of the priesthoods.

The grievances of the poor plebeians were economic: the abuse of defaulting debtors, indebtedness, the interest rates of loans, shortages of land for the poor to farm and food shortages. They rebelled and created their own leaders, the plebeian tribunes and their own assembly, the Plebeian Council. These plebeian institutions were separate fomo those of the patrician-controlled Roman state. The Plebeian Council started to issue laws which pertained only to the plebeians. Then there were disputes over whether these laws should be binding on the whole people, including the patricians. Eventually a law made them binding of the whole people and this ended restrictions on the plebeians.

  1. First of all, they were not allowed to be elected in government position.
  1. Second of all, They paid taxes and served in the army.
  1. They were not allowed to marry Patricians or served in the government.

That's all I can think of .

Patricians were members of the oldest and riches families.

Plebeians were poorer people, such as farmers and artisans.
