How was the Struggle of the Orders influential on later Roman politics?

The Struggle of the Orders was a conflict between the Plebeians and the Patricians. The Plebeians are the common, middle class people and the Patricians are they wealthy, upper class people. The Plebeians  were not involved in the government and they wanted a say in what happened.  Only the Patricians were allowed to run for the senate and they Plebeians wanted a chance. They voiced their opinion and eventually got heard. They are now allowed to have this position and have a say. When they have they position they have a lot of power. This influenced the Roman politics because people had more of a say in the government.  The Patricians had less power then before and they power was spread out more equally then before.
