Plebeian Council

The Plebeian Council was an important assembly in ancient Rome where common citizens, known as plebeians, could discuss and make decisions about their rights and laws affecting them. It served as a platform for plebeians to voice their concerns, elect representatives called tribunes, and influence legislation, especially to protect their interests from elite patricians. Over time, its powers expanded, making it a key part of the Roman Republic’s political system, promoting a form of early citizen participation and balancing the power between different social classes.
