Explanation:

The Twelve Tables were an ancient code of law created by the Romans in 450 BCE. Publicly displayed for every Roman citizen to consult, these Twelve Tables would form the earliest basis of what would later be known as Roman law. The laws dealt primarily with the relationship between individuals, and as such, they were a form of private law. This means the affairs of the state (public law) where outside its scope, so they said nothing about the need to raise an army or how to elect an emperor (Rome was a republic back then). They were also extremely basic, short of something that could be considered a constitution of Rome. On the other hand, these laws were easy to understand and made available to citizens. Whereas before law was interpreted by priests and aristocrats (more often than not always for their own benefit), the Twelve Tables provided a code of law where the rights and duties of individuals were set in stone, and were at a place where everybody could consult them and learn them.
