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. Option B is correct.

The constitution of the Roman Republic constituted a set of unwritten norms and customs, which accompanied by various written laws guided the manner by which the Roman Republic was governed. The constitution stemmed from that of the Roman kingdom, and was transformed into the constitution of the Roman Empire.
