2end time asking..How did the plight of the Plebeians weaken the Roman Republic?

Question 19 options:

The Roman Republic turned to Julius Caesar for help with his vast army to suppress the rebels, but he refused to aid the Senate as he was off wooing the Queen of Egypt, Cleopatra.


The Roman Republic heeded the cries for help of the Plebeians, and began providing latifundia's to them, but this weakened the wealthy classes as they could not longer afford to maintain their large estates.


The Roman Senate embraced the ideas of the Gracchus brothers, seeing their idea of taking lands away from the Patricians and giving it back to the Plebeians was the best way to silence their critics.


The Plebeians, many of whom were former soldiers were losing their farms to the Patricians, becoming greatly impoverished and began flooding the streets of Rome calling for revolt.

Answer:

Plebeians in the ancient Rome were people who were not the members of any of the classes ( which were patrician, senatorial and the equestrian classes) and were free citizens.

This section of ancient Rome included the normal working classes of the society like the the farmers, peasants, bakers or the builders.

The plebeians were responsible for having weakening the roman republic because of the struggle that they had with the patricians who were the aristocrats. They wanted equal status compared with the patricians.
