Answer (2)

The correct option for this question is option “D”. During the early Roman Republic, the Plebeians were allowed to pass laws for all Romans. The Plebeians Council or the Concilium Plebis was the main assembly of the Roman Republic of the old. The council of the Plebeians usually met in the comiti. The tribunes formed by the Plebeians had the power to veto any law passed by the senate. In such cases of vetoing, only the Plebeians had the power of voting.

During the early Roman Republic, plebeians fought for their rights and eventually attained the ability to pass laws for all Romans. The Lex Hortensia in 287 BCE solidified this right, allowing plebeians to have a say in the laws affecting all citizens. Therefore, the correct answer is option D: 'Pass laws for all Romans.'
