3 As the empire grew, populations got more diverse and so, the law and its protection acted as a binding force on communities.

4 The most important legislation was the “12 tables” which was made in 451BC-450BC. The edicts, written in 367BC, was the second type of written law. It aimed to control the expanding legal work. The third type of written law was the senate. It was created to assist the emperor when there were a lot of proposals to examine. https://www.google.ca/search?site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1366&bih=705&q=ancient+roman+law&oq=ancient+roma n+law&gs_l=img.3..0l10.67190.71026.0.71339.17.16.0.0.0.0.400.2842.2j5j1j4j1.13.0....0...1ac.1.42.img..9.8.1276.EaXdYN0qzeg#q=benefit s+of+ancient+roman+law&tbm=isch&facrc=_&imgdii=yaJb0SvPuicCmM%3A%3BzXN52Qe0gSIzPM%3ByaJb0SvPuicCmM%3A&i mgrc=yaJb0SvPuicCmM%253A%3Bqcmd5s8Yk4tpvM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fupload.wikimedia.org%252Fwikipedia%252Fco mmons%252Fa%252Fa3%252FMaccari- Cicero.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fen.wikipedia.org%252Fwiki%252FRoman_law%3B1280%3B798 https://www.google.ca/search?site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1366&bih=705&q=ancient+roman+law&oq=anci ent+roman+law&gs_l=img.3..0l10.67190.71026.0.71339.17.16.0.0.0.0.400.2842.2j5j1j4j1.13.0....0...1ac.1.42.img..9.8.1276.EaXd YN0qzeg#facrc=_&imgdii=h1WGJ5atR47RUM%3A%3BB1XsFfZHl56LmM%3Bh1WGJ5atR47RUM%3A&imgrc=h1WGJ5at R47RUM%253A%3BLsuzxnhpxIQg4M%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.croatianhistory.net%252Fgif%252Fvinodol.jpg %3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.croatianhistory.net%252Fetf%252Fet03.html%3B472%3B670

5 The Roman Republic wanted to ensure that the laws applied to both the rich and poor alike, and thus, the Twelve Tables were created. These laws were displayed in the forum for all citizens to see. They are called the Twelve Tables because there are 12 different sections which covered crime and property and family matters like marriage and inheritance. https://www.google.ca/search?site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1366&bih=705&q=ancient+roman+law&oq=ancient+roman+law&gs_l=img.3..0l10.67190.71026.0.71339. 17.16.0.0.0.0.400.2842.2j5j1j4j1.13.0....0...1ac.1.42.img..9.8.1276.EaXdYN0qzeg#q=benefits+of+ancient+roman+law&tbm=isch&facrc=_&imgdii=yaJb0SvPuicCmM%3A%3BzXN52 Qe0gSIzPM%3ByaJb0SvPuicCmM%3A&imgrc=yaJb0SvPuicCmM%253A%3Bqcmd5s8Yk4tpvM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fupload.wikimedia.org%252Fwikipedia%252Fcomm ons%252Fa%252Fa3%252FMaccari-Cicero.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fen.wikipedia.org%252Fwiki%252FRoman_law%3B1280%3B798

7 The twelve tables in the Roman law are significant because it codified a set of rules and standards to follow. Before twelve tables, decisions about conflicts were decided by a judges discretion. The twelve tables provided judges with a standard set of rules and punishments. https://www.google.ca/search?site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1366&bih=705&q=the +twelve+tables+in+the+forum&oq=the+twelve+tables+in+the+forum&gs_l=img.3...36330.4957 7.0.50308.40.21.1.18.1.1.986.5544.5j3j7j2j3j0j1.21.0....0...1ac.1.42.img..28.12.1890.oUpDy_PjYdM#q =ancient+roman+law&tbm=isch&facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=EZqsZ1o4UWa3oM%253A%3B5m DeAwpvUwlgBM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.classbase.com%252FImages%252FArticles %252FRoman%252520Education%252520Tertiary.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.classba se.com%252FNews%252Fcradles-of-education-ancient-rome-110%3B258%3B142
