I think that the plebians are more powerful, because even though the patricians were superior at first, they threatened them and managed to get more power from the patricians. Because the patricians need the plebians, the plebians had the edge.
Even though the patricians held more powerful at first, the plebians were unhappy with their lack of power and refused to fight in the military. The patricians were frightened at their loss of soldiers and made accomodations for the plebians. For example, the patricians recognized the plebeians' chosen representatives.
I would have to say the patricians and the Plebeians were equal in a way, because first, the patricians had almost complete control over the plebeians, but because the patricians relied on the plebeians so much, for things like soldiers, and the fact that they comprised a larger portion of the population. So basically although the plebeians "had the power" last, over all, they were equal.

I think the plebeians were stronger because there was more of them which was an advantage.

well of course the patricians, they were the ones in charge in most of the gov't
I think the plebians are more powerful because the overpowered the patricians. The patricians relied on the work of the plebians to remain in control.
