Twelve Tables

The twelve tables are a set of twelve laws inscribed originally on wooden tablets but then later moved on to bronze tablets. The laws were created in 451-450 BCE. The idea of the twelve tablets were they gave all citizens rights no matter of social class. It used some pre existing ideas just now written down. But this was considered a mile stone for the time. Citizens couldn't be taken advantage of no longer because there was evidence of their rights. It was one step closer for Plebians being treated equally by Patricians.
