Question

Why was the creation of a written law code in the Roman Republic significant?

Answer 1

The earliest and most important legislation, or body of leges, was the Twelve Tables, enacted in 451–450 bce during the struggle of the plebeians for political equality. It represented an effort to obtain a written and public code that patrician magistrates could not alter at will against plebeian litigants.

Answer 2

Answer:

The creation of a written law code in the Roman Republic was significant because it meant that the laws would be applied fairly to all people.
