Atque ut superbia quoque et impotentia in conspicuo ponatur, M. Fulvius Flaccus consul, M. Plautii Hypsaei collega, cum perniciosissimas rei publicae leges introduceret de civitate danda et de provocatione ad populum eorum qui civitatem mutare noluissent, aegre compulsus est ut in curiam veniret: deinde partim monenti, partim oranti senatui ut incepto desisteret, responsum non dedit.
And to put arrogance too and outrageousness conspicuously in view, Consul M. Fulvius Flaccus, colleague of M. Plautius Hypsaeus, was introducing laws highly detrimental to the commonwealth about granting citizenship and about appeal to the people by persons unwilling to change their citizenship status. With difficulty he was compelled to come to the senate house, but then gave no answer to the senate as it partly warned and partly entreated him to give up his program.
