Question Answered step-by-step Between 133-121 BC, the plebians advanced several populist… Between 133-121 BC, the plebians advanced several populist (pro-people) proposals. In Lex Sempronia Agraria, Plebian Council member, Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus, proposed a land redistribution law with the logic that 1). The patricians, having acquired slaves, gained an unfair advantage over plebian farmers in agrarian markets, 2). This unfair advantage failed many plebian farmers and, thereby, provided the patricians with a monopoly on the land and wealth accumulation, 3). The wealth gap between the land monopolizing patricians and newly uprooted and impoverished plebians is sapping the republic of its health, and 4). Therefore, to restore justice and the health of the republic, a certain amount of land must be returned to the plebians who lost due to the unfair advantages of the slave-owning patricians and a cap must be placed on wealth accumulation.  How did the senate react to the passage of this proposal by the Plebian Council? What was the fate of Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus? How did the senate respond to the renewal of the proposal by Gaius Gracchus (Tiberius’ brother) and what was Gaius’ fate?  Why are the proposed reforms and the senate’s reactions significant? What precedents became set and what do they indicate about broader Roman society? On the heels of the senate’s murderous response to republican processes, the Roman republic continued to rapidly disintegrate. With the disintegration of republican law and authority in mind, respond to the following questions:  Military hero, Gaius Marius brought about effective military reforms after becoming elected as consul. Marius’ success and popularity, however, led to the law becoming undermined. Explain: Marius again defined republican law and process when he used the Plebian Council to defy this body:Having been unjustly ousted by Marius, General Lucius Cornelius Sulla drew upon a portion of the military to further defy the Roman republic. What did he do, twice? Sulla declared himself dictator, essentially created a “kill list,” and severely limited the powers of this government body:  History World History HIST 1311 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
