-
Roman laws were written down on the Twelve Tables. Before they were written, the patricians could change them to benefit themselves.
-
Both the higher Romans class, the patricians, and the lower class, the plebians, were under Etruscan rule.
-
The plebians and patricians have equal rights. Plebians can now pass laws, become councls, reject laws, and become Senators; just as the patricians could.
-
The plebians were very mad over their lack of power, so they left the city and refused to work, throwing Rome into chaos.
-
A group of patricians led by Lucius Junius Brutus rebelled against the last Etruscan king, and successfully overthrew him. In place of monarchy, they formed a republic.
