Each curia even had its own festivals, gods, and religious rites. The thirty curiae gathered into a legislative assembly known as the <i>Comitia Curiata</i> or Curiate Assembly. This assembly was created shortly after the legendary founding of the city in 753 BC, and it formally elected new <a href="/wiki/King_of_Rome" title="King of Rome">Roman kings</a>. During this time, plebeians had no political rights and were unable to influence Roman Law. Each plebeian family was dependent on a particular patrician family. Accordingly, each plebeian family belonged to the same curia as its patrician patron. While the plebeians each belonged to a particular curia, only patricians could actually vote in the Curiate Assembly. </p><p>The Plebeian Council was originally organized around the office of the Tribunes of the Plebs in 494 BC. Plebeians probably met in their own assembly prior to the establishment of the office of the Tribune of the Plebs, but this assembly would have had no political role. The Offices of the plebeian tribune and plebeian aedile were created in 494 BC following the first plebeian secession. In 494 BC, the plebeians held nightly meetings in some districts, with their earliest attempts at organization focusing on matters relating to their class.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEWolters2014_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWolters2014-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Some of these issues included debt, civil and land rights, and military service.<sup id="cite_ref-:12_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:12-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Tribunes of the Plebs were also charged with protecting the plebeian interests against the patrician oligarchy.<sup id="cite_ref-:02_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:02-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 492 BC, the office of Tribune was acknowledged by the patricians, thereby creating a legitimate assembly of plebeians (C<i>oncilium Plebis).</i><sup id="cite_ref-:12_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:12-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> After 494 BC, a plebeian tribune always presided over the Plebeian Curiate Assembly.

By 471 BC, the plebeians decided that organization by tribe granted them a level of political independence from their patrician patrons<sup id="cite_ref-Abbott,_260_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Abbott,_260-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> that the curiae did not.

However, most Romans were plebeians. Therefore, the principal differences between the Plebeian Council and the Tribal Assembly were mostly legal rather than demographic. These legal differences derived from the fact that Roman law did not recognize an assembly consisting only of one group of people (plebeians in this case) from an assembly consisting of all of the <a href="/wiki/Spqr" class="mw-redirect" title="Spqr">People of Rome</a>. Over time, however, these legal differences were mitigated with legislation.

The next major development in this conflict occurred through the Plebeian Council. During a modification of the original Valerian law in 449 BC, plebiscites acquired the full force of law, and thus applied to all Romans. Before this time, plebiscites had applied only to plebeians. By the early 4th century BC, the plebeians, who still lacked any real political power,<sup id="cite_ref-Abbott,_35_16-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Abbott,_35-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> had become exhausted and bitter. In 339 BC they facilitated the passage of a law (the <i>lex Publilia</i>), which brought the Conflict of the Orders closer to a conclusion. Before this time, a bill passed by any assembly could become law only after the patrician senators gave their approval, which came in the form of a decree called the <i>auctoritas patrum</i> ("authority of the fathers" or "authority of the patrician senators"). The <i>lex Publilia</i> required the <i>auctoritas patrum</i> to be passed before a law could be voted on by one of the assemblies, rather than afterward.<sup id="cite_ref-Abbott,_50_17-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Abbott,_50-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This modification seems to have made the <i>auctoritas patrum</i> irrelevant.<sup id="cite_ref-Abbott,_51_18-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Abbott,_51-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Thus, the Plebeian Council became independent of the patrician aristocracy in everything but name. </p><p>By 287 BC, the economic condition of the average plebeian had deteriorated further.
