In the Early Republic, the 200-year Conflict of the Orders between patricians and plebeians led to rich plebeians obtaining power-sharing with the patricians who had monopolised it. The rich plebeians gained access to the executive offices of state and through this to the seats of the senate. The senate was composed of patricians and former officers of state.
The conflict also led to the creation of leaders of the plebeian movement which was formed with the first rebellion by poor plebeians in 494 BC. These were the plebeian tribunes. They became the representatives of the plebeians and had the power to appeal on behalf of the plebeians against actions by the officers of state which he deemed as harmful to the plebeians. The movement also created its own assembly, the Plebeian Council. This became the third popular assembly, the other two being the Assembly of the Soldiers and the Assembly of the Tribes (districts).
Originally bills were voted on by the Assembly of the Soldiers and the consuls (the two annually elected heads of the Republic) proposed bills. Later the Plebeian Council became the legislative body and the plebeian tribunes became the main proposers of bills.
The Plebeian tribunate and the Plebeian Council became the power base of the plebeians when there was conflict between patricians and plebeians. The senate was the power base of the patricians. In the Late Republic this conflict re-emerged. This was a conflict between the populares and the optimates. The former was a political faction which championed the cause of the poor and wanted reforms to help them. The latter was a conservative faction which favoured the interests of the patricians and opposed the reforms. The conflict between these two factions was a major cause of the many civil wars which eventually led to the fall of the Roman Republic and its replacement by rule by emperors.
It was a political struggle between the Plebeians (commoners) and Patricians (aristocrats) in the Roman Republic 494 to 287 BCE, with the Plebeians pursuing political equality with the Patricians.
The plebeians were commoners; that is, non-patricians. The patricians were the aristocracy. The poor plebeians rebelled and created the plebeian movement to fight for their economic grievances which came form their poverty. They created their leaders, the plebeian tribunes. The leaders were rich plebeians who had the education needed to lead a movement. The rich plebeians used the agitation of the plebeian movement for political self-promotion. They demanded access to the offices of state and eventually they succeeded in gaining access to all of them, including the top one, the consulship. Besides using the agitation of the plebeian movement, the rich plebeians also were supported by liberal patricians who favoured the change (conservative ones opposed it). At the end of this process the rich plebeians were co-opted into a patrician-(rich) plebeian oligarchy , and were included in the equite (cavalrymen) rank, which was turned into the lower the of the nobility. At this point the rich plebeians turned their back on the poor plebeians. The conflict between patricians and plebeians had been called the conflict of the orders. Writings of this conflict usually focuses on the process of gaining access to the offices of state. However, it should be remembered that the plebeian movement was meant to be concerned about the economic plight of the poor and that this was never addressed properly.
At the beginning of the Roman Republic the patricians monopolised the Roman state by monopolising the consulship (the office of the two annually elected heads of the Republic), the seats of the senate and the priesthoods. In the first plebeian rebellion (the first plebeian secession), the plebeians created their own institutions: the plebeian tribunes, the leaders of the plebeian movement, the aediles , their assistants, and the Plebeian Council, the assembly of the plebs. These institutions were independent and in conflict with the institutions of the patrician-controlled Roman state and their main purpose was to defend the plebeians from abuse by the patrician aristocracy. This was the beginning of the 200-year Conflict of the Orders between patricians and plebeians (the commoners). The poor plebeians fought for their economic grievance (indebtedness, the interest rates of loans, food shortages and shortages of land for the poor to farm). The rich plebeians fought for power-sharing with the patricians. Therefore, plebeian representation was the result of bitter and intense political conflict. They plebeians often mobilised their movement to press for their issues. Eventually the rich plebeians obtained power-sharing by gaining access to the consulship and the other offices of state which were created as the Republic developed and to some of the priesthoods. The economic grievances of the poor p-plebeians were not addressed properly
The law which forbade marriages between patricians and plebeians was part of a stet of laws which was called the Law of the Twelve Tables. The law caused outrage and was later repealed.
At the beginning of the Roman Republic the patricians controlled the Roman state by monopolising the consulship (the consuls were the two annually elected heads of the Republic) the seats of the senate and the priesthoods, which in those days had an important political role. With the 200-year long Conflict of the Orders between patricians and plebeians, the rich plebeians managed to obtain power-sharing with the patricians. They gained access to the consulship and the new offices of state which were created as the Republic developed, the seats of the senate and some of the priesthoods. They were co-opted into a patrician-(rich) plebeian oligarchy.
There was the Conflict of the Orders between the patrician and the plebeian orders. The rich plebeian pursued and obtained power-sharing with the patricians who had monopolized it.
Only patricians could become government leaders so after the patricians took over the plebeians protested against the patricians. And then after that the patricians and the plebeians worked together to make the roman government better.
The war between the patricians and the plebeians was/is called "the Conflict of the Orders"
A patrician was basically a landowner and was part of a royal family like the Julii family while the plebeian was the commoner and the diffidence between the two was that a patrician could be in senate and other parts of the government but later on plebeian got some power but never as much as the patricians.

Plebians were the lower class and Patricians were the higher class-more wealth and power for the latter.
The patricians were the aristocracy and the plebeians were the commoners (all non-patrician) both rich and poor. In the Early Roman Republic the patricians monoplosised power. All the consuls (the two annually elected heads of the city and the army and the senators were patricians). There was a 200-year long Conflict of the Orders between patricians and plebeians where the rich plebeians fought for power-sharing with the patricians. They obtained this and they were co-opted into a patrician-plebeian oligarchy.
The Conflict of the Orders, the 200-year struggle between patricians and plebeians, was over before Rome developed an empire.
