Yes, progressively.
The patricians were the aristocracy. They monopolised political power and owned large landed estates. The plebeians were the commoners. They were mostly farmers and urban workers. Rich plebeians were traders.
In the Early Republic the patricians monopolised political power by monopolising the seats of the senate and the consulship, the office of the two annually elected heads of the Republic and the priesthoods. In the Conflict of the Orders, the rich plebeians succeeded in obtaining power sharing with the patricians and gained access to the consulship and the other offices of state which were created as the republic developed, the seats of the senate and some of the priesthoods. The grievances of the poor plebeians, instead, were economic: indebtedness, the interest rates of loans and shortages of land for the of to farm.
Once the Plebeians gained their civil rights, they were able to hold public office and may of them rose to important positions and even counsuls. Marc Antony is an example of a man from a plebeian family becoming a counsul.

The plebeians gained their political rights by civil unrest and work stoppage. The patricians soon realized that they needed the plebeians not only for their work, but for their bodies in the army. So they granted them a couple of tribunes to look after their interests.

It was the 200-year Conflict of the Orders between patricians and plebeians. In the early Republic the patricians monopolised the office of the consuls, the two annually elected heads of the Republic, and the seats of the (unelected) senate. During this conflict the rich plebeians fought for power-sharing and the grievances of the poor ones were economic. With their struggles, the rich plebeians succeeded in gaining access to the consulship and the other offices of state which were created as the Republic developed and some of the priesthoods and obtained power-sharing.
