Caius Martius is never asked to be the people's representative as the above summary suggests. Rather, he is nominated for consul—a position which requires confirmation by the Senate and by the populace. The recently elected tribunes (who are the people's representatives in the Senate) oppose Matrius' appointment as consul because he is opposed to plebeian representation in the Senate.
