Unit 10, lesson 2 Introduction
OLS INTRODUCTION!
No matter how loyal or brave or
hardworking they were, soldiers and
other common people in Rome often
had to endure poverty and even
slavery. Even the common men who
became wealthy did not have a voice
in government. How could the common
people make life better for
themselves and their families? How
could they make the republic they
loved a better place for all citizens?
Give me a green check mark

Plebeians – Common people of Rome

Unit 9, lesson 3
READING GUIDE QUESTION #1




Common people (Plebeians) did NOT have
as many rights as patricians did.
They weren’t allowed to marry patricians
(Aristocracy).
When the plebeians found themselves in debt
they became slaves to the lender while they
worked to pay off the debt.
Common people also had to serve as unpaid
soldiers when necessary.
How did they respond to these
problems?


Common people refused to
fight in the army and
threatened to build their
own city.
They banded together,
called themselves plebeians,
and demanded more
political power.
What did the plebeians accomplish
by changing the laws?




The plebeians insisted that the
laws of Rome be written down
In 450 B.C., the laws were
published as the Twelve Tables.
Plebeians gained the right to
marry patricians.
A Roman citizen could no longer
be put into chains just because he
owed money.
Who were the CONSULS?



The consuls executed the laws.
There were two and one of the consuls had to be a
plebeian.
The consuls were elected to serve one-year terms,
and either consul could forbid the actions of the
other so that no single man would hold too much
power.

Unit 10, lesson 1 - A Republic is Born
Who was the SENATE ?



The Senate was the most
powerful body in the
government.
Senators came from wealthy
families which meant they often
ignored the interests of the poor.
Senators served for life and
proposed laws.
The Centuriate and Tribal Assemblies
READING GUIDE #5
The Centuriate
