Question 6 • Social Studies 8 - LIU Summer

What led the Roman Republic to develop the Twelve Tables?

Answer
A
conflict between legislators
B
conflict between wealthy landowners
C
conflict between patricians and plebeians
D
conflict between farmers and shopkeepers

Explanation

The Twelve Tables were created after plebeians demanded that Rome’s laws be written down and applied fairly. Before then, patricians had greater control over how laws were interpreted, leaving plebeians vulnerable to unequal treatment. The conflict between patricians and plebeians led Rome to publish the laws in the Twelve Tables.
