Though the Roman Republic displayed many values of democracy, there was a tendency to favor wealthy patricians. Early on, patricians held all of the political power. Plebeians had no way to read laws that were being passed in the Senate. This put plebeians at risk of being punished for crimes they didn't understand or know existed. In 494 BCE, fed up with their lack of say in the political process, plebeians revolted and left the city. With common people gone, there was no one left to handle the labor that kept the city running, and the Roman military was at risk of losing a huge portion of its troops. As a result of this collective action by the working class, the patricians had to negotiate a deal with plebeians. New political offices and voting assemblies were created, and Roman laws were inscribed in bronze and displayed publicly in the forum for all to see and understand in 451 BCE.
