cyber day 17

Before 451 in Rome there were no fixed laws. There were laws, but they were never written down. The laws went through the Patricians and the leaders would interpret them. But, this started to cause conflict between the Plebeians and the Patricians called the conflict of the orders. The Plebeians started a protest which made the Patricians have to do something to put a stop to it. This caused commoners to finally have a say in the law. The laws started out being carved into wooden tablets, but they were later carved into bronze. The laws were displayed in public for everyone to see. The 12 Tablets was an important jump in Rome's government. It also helped to heal the relationship between the Patricians and Plebeians and it showed that all people can have a say in the government.
