Question

True or false

and the early years of the Roman Republic, plebeians could vote but were not allowed to hold public office

Answer 1

True. In the early years of the Roman Republic, plebeians (the common people) had the right to vote but were initially excluded from holding public office, which was dominated by the patricians (the elite class). This led to conflicts between the two groups and eventually resulted in political reforms that allowed plebeians to hold public office over time.
