After plebian unrest, Senate created protectors {tribune}| of plebian rights. At first, there were three tribunes, then five, and later ten. The plebian assembly elected tribunes annually. Tribunes could veto Assembly acts. Tribunes were safe from imperium, vetoed magistrates, submitted bills to plebian assembly, and prosecuted criminals. Tribunes acted independently. Tribunes had power only inside Rome.
