Tribunes had ability to Veto, or prohibit, and forbid in Latin, Roman language. It was their responsibilities to protect the plebeians, or common people, and it was their responsiblites to not make any silly rules. That's why the laws were written down on 12 bronze table because many office people made up the rules. They didn't wanted to punised with out knowing what they did wrong, so tribunes protected plebians.
