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.
Yes, progressively.
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.

In the early republic of ancient Rome, the common people were referred to as plebeians. This social class contrasted with the patricians, who were the elite and aristocratic families. Plebeians were primarily farmers, laborers, and artisans, and they played a crucial role in the economy and military of Rome. Over time, plebeians gained more rights and political power through various reforms.
