Answer: The twelve tables were a set of rules that described the rules that citizens had to follow and limited the powers of the government, very similar to the Constitution of America.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Twelve Tables are a set of laws created in ancient Rome to establish the laws to be followed by commoners, and the limits of government. These laws are similar to those established by the Constitution of America.

For example; The first law of the table establishes that both parties, accused and accuser, must be present at a trial, also that the people had the right to a fair trial, and to present witnesses.

The tables also establish that men are free, but can lose their freedom due to debt.

It also establishes that the judges must be impartial in their verdicts and the punishment for those who accept bribes.
