What was the reason the patricians want to prevent plebeians from holding important positions?

Not all patricians were opposed to this. The conservative patricians opposed it. The liberal patricians supported it. This support helped the rich plebeians to eventually gain access to all offices of state and the priesthoods, which had been exclusively patrician. During the early republic, the patricians established themselves as a ruling class through a monopoly over the consulship and the senate. They were an aristocracy and considered themselves superior to the plebeians (commoners). They saw being in power as a privilege by birth right. Moreover, the plebeian movement started as a rebellion against the patrician-dominated state when their demands for addressing the worse aspect through which the patricians exploited poor plebeians were rejected. The patricians saw the plebeian economic grievances and demands as a threat to their profits, exploitative practices, and privilege. They also saw the rebellion as an attempt to subvert the Romans state. Eventually, with the help of the liberal patricians the rich plebeians, who were the leaders of the constantly agitating plebeian movement, were co-opted into what became a patrician-plebeian oligarchy and the rich plebeians turned their backs on the poor plebeians who had been the driving force of the plebeian movement.

What was the audience for the twelve tables?

The plebs. Before the Twelve Tables were written, they had to rely on the patricians who had the law in their heads and the plebs had to go to a patrician and seek his help, thus becoming the patrician's client and having to support him politically and financially. With the law written down, they could read it themselves and only go to a patrician when they needed his political clout.

Main purpose of patronage?

Patronage is the system of political, financial or social support that people give to each other. Usually - and since the time of ancient Rome - it means that a socially important person is supported in his position of power and he in return uses that power to provide his supporters where necessary with financial aid, jobs and other forms of help. The most common form today is to be found in a lot of political systems where (financial) supporters of a politician are rewarded with jobs. African countries almost all have extended patronage systems. But even in the US big financial supporters of a succesful presidential candidates for instance are often rewarded with ambassadorships. Although it may look like a form of graft to outsiders, patronage is often deeply embedded in a country's culture and their people see it as the fabric that holds their society together and as a form of social security.
