Communities have laws to organize themselves and regulate the actions of their members even. The Twelve Tables were written laws for plebeians to have power to propose legislation, intervene in legal matters, and veto the actions of other magistrates. The common people/plebeians finally had a say in the law. The Twelve Tables were originally carved on wooden tablets and set up for public display, but then they were upgraded to bronze for the sake of permanence. a group of ten patricians began writing down Rome's laws and hung them in the Forum. They were memorized and added onto later on. The laws were passed in three different types of assemblies.
1. Centuriate Assembly- for high elections and military affairs
2. Tribal Assembly- for lower elections
3. Plebeian assembly- for matters that only affected lower classes
The Senate would first propose the law to their people, then they would discuss in groups, and finally vote on the law without discussion on that day. The roman Law consisted of: Preamble (info), Main Text (details on the contents), Sanctio (penalties for breaking law). The Twelve Tables established the idea that all free citizens had a right to the protection of the law.
