Answer:The Twelve Tables were the first legal code of the Roman Republic, drafted between 451 and 450 BCE to help resolve conflict between wealthy patricians and common plebeians. These laws established rights and responsibilities of Roman citizens in areas of property, trials, personal wrongs, public, and religious matters

Explanation:Law of the Twelve Tables, Latin Lex XII Tabularum, the earliest written legislation of ancient Roman law, traditionally dated 451–450 bc. ... The written recording of the law in the Twelve Tables enabled the plebeians both to become acquainted with the law and to protect themselves against patricians' abuses of power.
