West Civ Class 4/30/13

Today in class we finished watching the 8 part series of videos following Tiberius (Rex) Gracchus and the fall of the Roman Republic. I personally think that Tiberius was misunderstood and he did not want absolute power, he just wanted to help out. The only reason he wanted more power is so that the senate could not stop him from helping the plebeians. The power that he got with Vetoing everything may have gone to his head a bit, but he was just trying to prove a point.
