Answer 1

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.
