Answer:
The Roman government during the Republic was multifaceted and can be divided into three major categories: the cursus honorum, the senate, and the citizen assemblies. The cursus honorum is the name for the hierarchy of political offices, or magistracies, that Roman men pursued in their political careers. To calm the angry plebeians, the patricians made some changes to Rome's government. For example, they created new offices that could only be held by plebeians. The people who held these offices protected the plebeians' rights and interests.
