How did the institution of family and clientage and the establishment of patrician and plebeian classes contribute to the stability of the early roman republic?
They contributed to instability, rather than stability.
Clientage or clientelism refers to the patron-client relationship, where a poor or poorer man (the client) depends on a rich man (the patron) for favours, jobs, or cash hand-outs. This relationship bound the families of clients to the family of the powerful patrons and provided the latter with political support when needed. It strengthened the position of the rich. It did not really contribute to stability because it helped strengthened the hand of the patricians against the plebeians in the Conflict of the Orders (see below).
The patricians were not established during the Republic. These aristocratic families claimed origin from the beginning of Rome. The founder, Romulus, selected 100 patres familia (fathers of the family) or leading men form the leading clans of Rome at the time to seat in the senate (the name was derived from senex, old man, and was like a council of elders) as an advisory body. This ancestry was a key factor of the patrician claim of superiority to other Romans. The plebeians (the commoners became an important social group in the late Monarchy.
The Early republic saw the beginning of the rebellion of the plebeian movement against the rich patricians with the rebellion of the 1st plebeian secession in 494 BC. The reason for this was the abusive ways in which the patricians exploited the poor plebeians and the monopoly of power patricians had established in the Early Republic. This started the Conflict of the order, a conflict between patricians and plebeians, which lasted two hundred years. This conflict was very destabilising as the plebeian agitations often threatened Rome's ability to defend herself and undermined unity. Internal instability was a characteristic of the Early Republic and part of the Mid Republic. Instability reoccurred in the Late Republic, again, because of agitations by the poor plebeians.
