Which is the best summary based on topic sentence for the paragraph? Establishing peace and order gave Rome much-needed stability. The Romans' first code of law was established around 450 BC. On 12 separate tablets, twelve legal experts wrote down a list of Roman customs about property and punishing people who did wrong. This code was called the laws of the Twelve Tables (tablets on which the laws were inscribed) and at first its details of procedure were restricted to a body of patrician leaders. However, due to plebeian pressure, the Twelve Tables were put into writing around 250 BC, making it more accessible to the common man for interpretation and understanding. By the end of the third century, Roman law covered relations among Romans, dealings with foreigners, and eventually covered even magisterial law to strengthen and correct existing law. As the Roman Empire was in its first steps of dominance around 27 BC, the law's development was taken over by the emperors, who added and revised freely. As the law grew more complex the government literally trained jurists who could understand and correctly interpret the laws. Rome's laws gave stability as they developed. The Twelve Tables were written for the common man. Rome's laws got more complex.
