-
The Etuscans ruled Rome and there were two types of citizens, Plebeians and Patricians.
-
Patricians overthrow Etruscan kings, a republic is formed, Roman republic
-
The majority of the population were plebeians, so plebeinas were angry that patricians had all the power so they left Rome until Plebeians met their demands.
-
The plebeians had gained more rights, but they weren't exactly equal as the patricians, so they demanded a way of laws that laws couldn't be changed at will so they wrote them on tablets called the Twelve Tables.
-
After 200 years of the plebeians protesting and fighting for their equality, they got it, and all Romans had rights to accept and reject laws.
