Here's a summary of the Twelve Tables.

I only see one possible answer in that site. What do you think it is?
Answered by Crimson Chin
(1) created equality before the law for all citizens?

But I don't think that was in the Code of Hammurabi
Answered by Ms. Sue
I don't think so. The 12 Tables gave more privileges to the rich and politically powerful. Women had few privileges.

How about # 3?
Answered by Crimson Chin
How is that? Because it is written?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Yes. The laws in the Tables make it difficult to abuse the underclasses. The key is the law -- which in all three cases were written.
