Yeah, I have basic info, but how was it that significant? Is it just restoration of power to Tribunes etc, or Pompey's tech. illegal appt.?

and things like reversal of all of sulla's reforms/ restoration of censors / kicking out 64 senators, this all going against the mos marourium thing. its one of the major events showing the lossing power, and its contribution to the fall of the republic.

the major significance was the restoration of the power to the tribunes, which eventually had a part in the downfall of the republic, but also the the revision of the censor was important as the new senators who were appointed were much more loyal to Crassus and Pompey. also the addition of equites to the senate to the law courts helped weaken it.
