Handout 7 Making laws in Rome (before the Plebeian protest) Consuls Two Consuls governed Rome. They: • could only be chosen from the Patricians • were elected for one year • both had to agree before any decisions were made. Magistrates The Senate • were only Patrician men • said what the laws meant • judged court cases. • about 300 Patricians became Senators for life • gave advice to the Magistrates and Consuls. The Assembly All Roman citizens (Patrician and Plebeian) met in the Assembly to vote on laws and to choose Patrician men for important jobs. • only men • the Patricians had more power than the Plebeians • Patrician votes were always worth more than Plebeian votes.
