How can people participate in a democratic government aside from voting?

The election of officials occurred only during the 482-year period of the Roman Republic. During the subsequent 503-year period of rule by emperors (27BC-476 AD), officials were appointees of the emperors. During the Republic citizens also voted on bills. In the Early Republic the soldiers convened in the Assembly of the Soldiers and voted on bills proposed by the consuls (the two annually elected heads of the Republic). Later, the plebeians (commoners) convened in the Plebeian Council (the assembly of the plebeians) voted on bills proposed by the plebeian tribunes. The Assembly of the Soldiers elected the senior officials and voted on war and peace. It also acted as an appeal court for death penalty cases until 82 BC. The Assembly of the Tribes (administrative districts), which convened all citizens, elected the junior officials and acted as a court of appeal for all other cases until 82 BC. In 82 BC appeal cases were transferred to a special jury court, the quaestiones perpetuae. There were also the plebeian tribunes who were elected by the Plebeian Council, presided over this assembly and were the representatives of the plebeians. They were not officers of state. Through their role as representatives of the plebeians and with the Plebeian Council becoming the legislative body, they could have a lot of power.

G What method did the plebeians use to pressure the patricians to give them more political power?

They demanded representation in the Roman senate. When the Patricians refused, they left Rome. As they constituted the army, and the city was undefended, the Patricians had to concede and the Plebs gained one of the two Consuls each year. As ex-consuls gained a seat in the Senate, their proportion grew each year. Then they established a Plebeian Assembly from which the Patricians were excluded, so they had a majority in the Centuriate Assembly, the Tribal Assembly and their own Plebeian Assembly, each of which had separate powers which in total encompassed all powers.. When the civil wars progressed through the 1st Century BCE, the Patricians suffered heavy casualties, and ceased to exist as a political force, the title becoming honorific.

What changes were made in romes government as a result of demands by the plebeians?

The main changes were around the plebeian tribunes and the plebeian council which were formed by the plebeian movement in its first rebellion (the 1st plebeian secession). The council and the tribunes were recognised, but the laws voted by the plebeian council were not recognised as laws binding on all citizens, including the patricians. Eventually they were recognised as binding on all, and the plebeian tribunes became the main proposers of laws and the plebeian council the main deliberative body. The leaders of the plebeian movement gained access to all offices of state, the senate and the priesthoods. These leaders were rich plebeians who were co-opted into what became a patrician-plebeian oligarchy with the help of liberal patricians who supported this development. The rich plebeians then turned the backs on the poor plebeians who had been the driving force of the plebeian movement. The economic grievances of the poor plebeians were not addressed properly.
