Slaves at the bottom, then freedmen, and free-born citizens at the top. Then the free-born citizens were divided up into the Patricians and the Plebeians.

Mostly, the Plebs were the common-folk, but that does not mean they could not be rich.
Why were Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus killed?
Tiberius Julius Caesar Augustus, Emperor of Rome, was killed because he was a bloodthirsty tyrant, a serial sadistic pedophile, and had ordered the execution of several high ranking and popular Roman citizens. Gaius Gracchus was killed by the Roman Senate because of a series of reforms he instituted that cost several wealthy families money and political power, which led to a minor civil war. He also claimed to be morally superior to all of his contemporaries, calling himself the "most virtuous man in Rome."
How did the government of the Roman Republic become more democratic in its decision making?
The Romans government became more democratic by the revolt of the Plebeians. The Patricians' strangle hold on power was broken and the Plebeians gained rights. These rights were written, and referred to as the Laws of the Twelve Tables.
Why were the Plebeians frustrated AND what did they do to gain rights?
Plebeians were frustrated due to their lack of political power and representation in the Roman Republic, as most political offices were held by the wealthy patricians. To gain rights, they organized a series of protests, including the Secession of the Plebs in 494 BCE, where they withdrew from the city and refused to fight in the army until their demands were met. This pressure led to the creation of the office of the Tribune of the Plebs, which allowed them to have representatives who could advocate for their interests and veto harmful legislation. Ultimately, these actions contributed to the gradual increase in their rights and influence in Roman society.
