In Ancient Rome, what was the law of the twelve tables? The Twelve Tables was the primary legislative basis for Romeâs republican constitution, protecting the working classes from arbitrary punishment and excessive treatment by the ruling elite (patricians).
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 patriciansâ abuses of power. The Twelve Tables were not a reform or a liberalizing of old custom. Rather, they recognized the prerogatives of the patrician class and of the patriarchal family, the validity of enslavement for unpaid debt, and the interference of religious custom in civil cases.
