The Roman Republic (509 B.C. – 27 B.C.)
509 B.C., Romans rejected Etruscan king (monarchy) and established a republic. Power rests with the citizens who have the right to
vote for their leaders. In Rome, citizenship with voting rights was granted
only to free-born male citizens.

The Roman Republic (509 B.C. – 27 B.C.)
STRUGGLE FOR POWER: CLASS CONFLICT
Patricians- wealthy landowners who held most of the power: inherited power and social status
Plebeians- (Plebs) common farmers, artisans and merchants who made up the majority of the population: can vote, but can’t ruleTribunes- elected representatives who protect plebeians’ political rights.

Roman Government takes Shape
2 Consuls (Rulers of Rome)
Senate (Representative body for patricians)
Tribal Assembly (Representative body for plebeians)

The Roman Republic (509 B.C. – 27 B.C.)
A “Balanced” Government Rome elects two consuls– one to lead army,
one to direct government Senate- chosen from patricians (Roman
upper class), make foreign and domestic policy Popular assemblies elect tribunes, make
laws for plebeians (commoners)
Dictators- leaders appointed briefly in times of crisis (appt. by consuls and senate) Typical during times of War

Plebeians plea for Equality
Plebeians were the lower class, farmers, merchants, artisans, and traders.
1st Breakthrough- 12 Tables
2nd Breakthrough- tribunes- could veto, or block those laws that were harmful to the Plebeians.
Eventually Plebeians were elected to offices of high importance
