Write a short essay comparing the roles of patricians, plebeians, women, children, and enslaved people in the Roman Republic.

The patricians were the nobility of Rome while plebeians, women, children, and enslaved people had little to no rights.

Explanation:

There was a social hierarchy in place in Rome that was hard to cross.

Patricians formed the nobility of the nation and had the most rights, paid the least taxes and made the most powerful decisions. They were the ones allowed in government too.

Plebeians were common wage workers who paid high taxes in the country and were forbidden for trying for government,

Women in particular had almost no rights of their own in Roman society and the children were seen according to their class roles too.

Enslaved people formed a large number of the people but were not granted citizenship of Rome. They could technically buy their freedom but were not able to usually.
