Detailed explanation-1: -In the early periods of the Roman state the Patricians were the Nobles as opposed to the Plebs.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Plebeians Rebel Plebeians had to obey their decisions. Because laws were not written down, they were often changed or interpreted to benefit the patricians. As a result, a small group of families held all the power in Rome. Fighting for what they wanted, plebeians began to demand more rights.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Tribunes of the Plebs were elected by the Plebeian Council. At first, only 2 to 5 Tribunes were elected until the College of 10 was introduced in 457 BC. They served as spokespeople for the plebeians of Rome, with a purpose of protecting the interests of the plebeians against patrician supremacy.
