In Plutarch's life of Tiberius Gracchus, there is a section in which Tiberius is trying to get rid of Marcus Octavius as a tribune in order to pass his bill about land reform.
I was really really hoping that someone on here has read Plutarch's Life of Tiberius Gracchus and could give me some insight on the two sides of the arguement (for/against the deposition of Octavius).

There is a website for Appian's history, which gives a rather more balanced view of the problem than Plutarch. It's at the start of Appian's account of the Civil Wars.
But in any case, wouldn't accepting Gracchus' argument about Octavius turn politics into chaos? Nobody should be required to stand down just because he is an obstacle to legislation.
