Abstract

The purpose of this article is to show how Cicero construct his argument in defense of the tribunatum plebis when thinking about the participatory justice and the constitution of the City in De Legibus. We shall see the argument in a broader context whose scope was to defend the autonomy of the Senate face of the threats of dictatorship that was hanging over the Roman Republic.
