Why did the brothers Gracchi fail to turn the land laws into practice? Could Cornelia be proud of her sons?

The Gracchi brothers were the tribunes of the people in ancient Rome. Their idea was unacceptable to the state, since they proposed to take away all land holdings from the patrician elite and transfer them to the oppressed layer of the plebeians. Their proposal was impracticable, because the ancient Romans did not want to say goodbye to their privileges and lands in favor of the plebeians. For this bold proposal, the Gracchus brothers were executed by representatives of the aristocracy. Cornelia could be proud of her sons, as they stood up to defend the equal rights of all citizens.
