Answer this question… A Doctor Who has the right to vote for elected officials of the government
The Romans had several categories of citizenship. A citizen of the first class was one who had the right to vote and the right to hold public office. He was usually a native Roman whose parents were also Roman citizens. He not only had the forementioed rights, but was also free from torture and certain forms of execution. He enjoyed the rights of trade and property and designating heirs--in other words he had all the civil rights. Then there was the citizen of the second class who also enjoyed the civil rights and the right to trade or do business while not being able to vote or hold public office. There was a third class of citizenship in which a person had in addition to the civil rights, only the right to do business or the right to trade. Note that the categories of citizenship are different from the social classes of patrician, plebeian, equite, etc.

Towards the end of the Republic, the Italic peoples living in Italy except for the north were granted Roman full citizenship. In 49 B.C., Julius Caesar granted full Roman citizenship to the peoples of northern Italy as well.

The males of Rome were either Patrician or Plebeian. The Patricians were aristocrats who allegedly could trace their ancestry back to mythical origins and the first Senate established by Romulus . The Plebeians, on the other hand, were the common folk. Initially, only Patricians were eligible for public office and the classes were forbidden from intermarriage.
The patricians had the right to vote, as did the plebeians and equites and all the Roman citizens of the first class. Rome was a republic and all citizens could vote, depending on their class of citizenship.

Political infighting was getting worse, and the large gapes between social classes was causing tension and was leading to social instability.When the republic began, property owners were expected to voluntarily defend the state. However, the majority of the army were small farmers, they couldn't afford to spend a long time away from the farm. This led them to loose business and stability.The taxes were too high. The richest people exempted themselves from taxes, the middle and working class got so poor that they couldn't support the government with their taxes and the empire collapsed.
