Well, the Tribunate helped curtail be Patricians excesses for 400 plus years. Quite a bit longer than we have as a country.

I think they got their first ones around 500 BC when the plebs did a general strike encamping to a hill.

Then they had another general strike what was it 300 BC ish where they got more tribunes and got some other reforms.
