The struggles of the orders influenced ancient Rome politics because it opened up a whole new chapter in the difference between the Plebians and the Petricians. The Plebians were at the breaking point of a rebelion. The Petricians realized this so they made a rule that the Plebians could have one seat in the Republic. This seat was called the Tribune of the Plebs. They might have only one seat but that one seat was the only seat that could veto a law. This made it better for the Plebians because they could now act against the Petricians and have some things their way.
