WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Twelve Tables provided an early understanding of some key concepts such as justice, equality, and punishment. Although legal reform occurred soon after the implementation of the Twelve Tables, these ancient laws provided social protection and civil rights for both the patricians and plebeians.

Detailed explanation-2: -The end of the Conflict of the Orders (367–287 BC) In the decades following the passage of the Licinio-Sextian law of 367 BC, a series of laws were passed which ultimately granted plebeians political equality with patricians. The patrician era came to a complete end in 287 BC, with the passage of the Hortensian law.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the early stages of Rome, the plebeians had few rights. All of the government and religious positions were held by patricians. The patricians made the laws, owned the lands, and were the generals over the army. Plebeians couldn’t hold public office and were not even allowed to marry patricians.

Detailed explanation-4: -Over time, the plebeians elected their own representatives, called tribunes, who gained the power to veto measures passed by the senate.
