The correct statements about the Twelve Tables are:

  1. They were displayed publicly.
  2. They were written down.
  3. They spelled out the Roman code of laws.

The Twelve Tables were not specifically designed to protect all citizens equally, and they did not allow consuls to interpret the laws in a way that reflected modern judicial independence. Rather, they provided a foundational legal framework for Roman society.
