The plebeians had the rights of a Roman citizen. The law gave all Roman citizens the same rights. Social inequality was not based on the law. It was determined by differences in wealth and status.

The plebeians had some political rights by voting in tribunes, people who were elected by the plebeians to protect their interests. The tribunes resided in the Assembly, which was made up of patricians, who were rich people and aristocrats.

After the kings were booted out, the upper-class Particians assumed power by forming the Senate to replace the king, creating an oligarchy (= rule of the few). The Plebs didn't want to exchange one lot of autocratic rulers for another, and put pressure on the patricians to share power, gaining one of the two annual Consul positions. As the retiring consuls entered the Senate, this annual inflow gave the plebs an increasing share in the Senate. But to get this, they walked away from the city, leaving it to the Patricians, who had to cave in as the army was manned by the Plebs, and Rome was defenceless in an area of hostile neighbours.

They also established a series of assemblies - the Centuriate Assembly (the people assembled under arms, the Tribal Assembly - the people assembled by tribes, and later the Plebeian Assembly (Patricians excluded), each with different areas of responsibility. In addition, there were the 10 Tribunes of the Plebs, who had the veto and could introduce legislation in the Senate, and the retiring tribunes each year became senators, significantly expanding representation of the Plebs.
