Basically, it was several issues and they all had to do with civil rights in some way. Before the written law, justice was dispensed by tradition and patrician interpretation of the laws. The patricians were the only ones who had access to the few laws that were written down. These circumstance did not please the plebeians, who were not only denied justice in most cases, but were also denied the opportunity to advance themselves. Plebeian work strikes and protests, such as leaving the city and camping out on the Advantine hill, were the methods that were used to force the patricians to cede power and to change the government by giving the plebeians more of a say.

The plebs.

With the law written down, they could read it themselves and only go to a patrician when they needed his political clout.
