WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Tribune was a title of various offices in ancient Rome, the two most important of which were the tribuni plebis and tribuni militum. The military tribunes were responsible for many administrative and logistics duties, and could lead a section of a legion under a consul, or even command one alone on the battlefield.

Detailed explanation-2: -According to Roman tradition, these plebeian tribunes were originally created to defend the plebeians from abuse, but they would eventually gain such authority that they might fairly be called the most important magistrates of the early Republic.

Detailed explanation-3: -The patrician allowed the plebs to elect official called Tribunes of the Plebs. The tribunes spoke for the plebs to the senate and the consuls. Later, the Tribune gained power to veto actions by the senate and government officials that they thought they were unfair.

Detailed explanation-4: -Tribunes had the ability to veto Consular decisions within the city and acted as a safeguard to unbridled Patrician political power. The position was only open to plebeians. Originally the soldiers in military regiments elected the Tribunes, but after twenty years all male plebeians were able to vote for Tribunes.
