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

The Struggle of Orders refers to the debate between the patricians and the plebeians in Rome. The dispute was over representation in the Senate. Their was about to be a civil war within Rome until a compromise was made between the two parties. The patricians agreed to give the plebeians one spot in the senate, but that one senator would have a vast amount of power. this seat in the Senate was known has the Tribune to the Plebs. The plebeian senator was the only person in the Senate who had the power to veto a law that the senate had put forth. This then vastly changed the Roman senate because now the plebeians were represented and the senate could no longer pass laws hat only applied to the patricians, but now the plebeians could have a very strong voice in the senate and have power similar to the modern day President.The was like a check and balance of power in the senate that has now been passed down through time and still used today.
