Why were the patricians afraid when the plebeians left?
The Patricians were afraid when the Plebeians left because the Plebs took care of everything including the farms. And they were most of Rome's army. If they left then the crops in their farm would wither, and no one would have food. Also if Rome got attacked then there would be no army to fight them back.
What were the civic duties of Romans?
The plebeians were the commoners, all non-patricians, both rich and poor, both rural and urban. Peasant-proprietors served in the army, which in those days was a citizen militia. The early Republic also was the beginning of the 200-year old conflict of the Orders between patricians and plebeians. The poor plebeians fought for their economic grievances, which were the abuse of defaulting debtors who were imprisoned, tortured and sometimes sold as slaves buy the creditors, the problems of indebtedness and the rates of interest on loans, and shortages of land for poor peasants. The rich plebeian fought for access to the offices of state and the senate which were monopolised by the patricians.
What dd the struggle between the patricians and the plebeians lead to?
It led to great struggles between the two states of social difference. It had always been a major conflict since the founding of the republic. Which is exactly why the senate developed the system they had, in which consuls served one year terms, with two consuls, one representing the patricians, and the other the plebeians. Also conflicts led to delegations of ignorance to one another's disposition, especially for patricians and the effect their actions had on plebs due to their great amounts of wealth. Such as when they would buy out all lands to their benefit and farm them with slaves, it brought poverty to the general lower class public because of lack of labor opportunities and market collapses.

How did plebeian representation change in the government?
At the beginning of the Roman Republic the patricians monopolised the Roman state by monopolising the consulship (the office of the two annually elected heads of the Republic), the seats of the senate and the priesthoods. In the first plebeian rebellion (the first plebeian secession), the plebeians created their own institutions: the plebeian tribunes, the leaders of the plebeian movement, the aediles , their assistants, and the Plebeian Council, the assembly of the plebs. These institutions were independent and in conflict with the institutions of the patrician-controlled Roman state and their main purpose was to defend the plebeians from abuse by the patrician aristocracy. This was the beginning of the 200-year Conflict of the Orders between patricians and plebeians (the commoners). The poor plebeians fought for their economic grievance (indebtedness, the interest rates of loans, food shortages and shortages of land for the poor to farm). The rich plebeians fought for power-sharing with the patricians. Therefore, plebeian representation was the result of bitter and intense political conflict. They plebeians often mobilised their movement to press for their issues. Eventually the rich plebeians obtained power-sharing by gaining access to the consulship and the other offices of state which were created as the Republic developed and to some of the priesthoods. The economic grievances of the poor p-plebeians were not addressed properly
