The Conflict of the Orders between patricians (the aristocracy) and plebeians (the commoners, both rich and poor) had two strands. It started with a rebellion of the poor plebeians. The grievances of the poor plebeians were economic, primarily indebtedness, the interest rates of loans and insufficient land for the peasants. The rich plebeians became the leaders of the movement and also had another agenda: power-sharing with the patricians. 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).
The rich plebeians used the agitations of the plebeian movement to fight for power-sharing with the patricians and to gain access to the consulship and other offices of state which were created as the Republic developed and to the seats of the senate. They achieved this and were co-opted into a patrician-plebeian oligarchy. They also were given equite (cavalryman) status. The equites were the second highest rank of Roman society. At this point the rich plebeians turned their back on the poor, whose economic grievances were never addressed properly.

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.
The Roman government broadened its scope after the struggle. The Plebeians received attention from the government and enjoyed the protection of their civil rights. The government revoked the patriciansâ?? sole right to serve in the government.

Patricians (wealthy land owners who held the most power) and the plebeians (common farmers, artisans and merchants who made up most of the population).The major power struggles in the very early republic were between the Patricians and the Plebeians. In the later republic, the power struggles were between the Optimists and the Populists.
