Answered by ExamLex AI
In the "struggle of the orders," the plebeians wanted greater political and legal rights, as well as relief from debt and economic oppression. They succeeded in getting some of their demands met through the creation of the Twelve Tables, which codified Roman law and provided some protections for the plebeians.
However, it cannot be said that Rome became a democracy solely because of this struggle. While the plebeians did gain some rights and protections, the Roman Republic remained a society with significant class divisions and limited political participation. The Roman Senate, which was dominated by the patrician class, continued to hold significant power, and the Roman political system did not resemble a modern democracy.
The struggle of the orders did contribute to the gradual expansion of political rights and representation in Rome, but it was not the sole or primary factor in the development of Roman democracy. Other factors, such as the influence of Greek political thought and the impact of military conquests, also played significant roles in shaping the political evolution of Rome.
