We just learned this in school! Roman Society was split into two parts the Patricians (The Rich People) and the Plebeians (The Poor Guys). The Patricians were the aristocratic and usually wealthy citizens of Rome. The Plebeians were the non-aristocratic citizens of Rome. Rome was a Republic nation, and had 3 branches. The one your talking about would be the legislative branch. There was 3 houses.
-The Senate
-The Assembly of the Centuries
-Councillum Plebis
The Senate was composed of PATRICIAN generals that would debate the laws.
The Assembly of the Centuries had one representative from each army unit (193 units) but the PATRICIAN units voted first and the poor last and as soon as 97 units voted yes or no the voting stopped.
The Concillium Pebis was composed of plebeians that could not debate topics.

The aristocratic owners of large landed estates bought slaves to work in their fields and expanded their estates at the expense of small farmers.
