Different assemblies of the Roman Republic handled different matters. The Centuriate Assembly voted to elect consuls and other officials who handled military matters. The
Centuriate Assembly also held trials that might result in an execution. Though patricians
and plebeians were both a part of this assembly, its groups were organized by wealth. The
wealthier groups voted first and their vote was given more weight than that of poorer
groups. The Tribal Assembly voted in the election of officials who dealt with non-military
matters and held trials for cases that did not involve the death penalty. This assembly
consisted of both patricians and plebeians. The Plebeian Council consisted solely of
plebeians. They voted to enact laws that initially only applied to plebeians, but later applied
to all citizens. The Plebeian Council elected non-military officials and served as an appeals
court for matters that did not involve the death penalty.
Which of the following best describes the relationship between the Plebeian Council
and political power?
