Twelve tables

The twelve tables were twelve tablets of laws that were written by ten men in 451 B.C., and posted in the forums for everyone to see. before this, laws were put in order but they were not codified and they could change year after year. The twelve tables consisted of some pre existing ideas and new ideas. The laws were formed in assemblies with each class. The laws being passed were private laws for individuals, families, businesses, and small groups. There were also public laws for dealing with issues as a whole, like administration, the constitution, and in crime. Over time, the plebeian class began to fight back for the amount of strict laws they had and soon a group called conflict of the orders was formed.
