Patricians+and+Plebeiansnjr

__ ﻿ ____ Patricians and Plebeians __ The Republic of Rome was divivided into two groups the Patricians(land owners,and other wealthy positions) and the Plebeians(common folk, the unwealthy).The Partricians would not allow a man or women who belonged to their class to marry any Plebeian. If they did marry a Plebeian the Partricians would not even recongnize the marriage and if offspring was born, they would treat it like an illegal. Partricians had most of the power but the Plebeians had Tribunes(an office that protects the rights of the Plebeians). If the Tribunes did not agree with a law trying to be passed he could yelled veto(latin word for i forbid or forbid). Eventually all of the rights that the Plebeians didnt have before were over look and they could finally make their own laws.
