Week 5 Daily 1

 How was the Struggle of the Orders influential on later Roman politics?


The "struggle of orders", is basically the transfer of power from the king to senate. Back in the roman time period this was very reoccurring. There were two classes, the Plebians and Partricians.The Plebeins were very poor people who's job's were mostly solider's for the war and low jobs. The Partricians were wealthy and well off, with very high paying jobs and sometimes wealth by a family member. The Plebeins eventually took control of the government and they forced the Partricians to make a law stating they could veto any other laws by any other tribes. This gave the Plebeins many rights and power. This simple change in the government lead to the Laws of Twelve Tables. This gave the Plebeins the right to marry the Partricians. The Plebeins gained power from doing this, making them most powerful and very influential on the government. Overall this influenced Roman politics by making them more complicated and mixed. These orders brought two groups together.
