Among the things which made Roman law popular in later times was its main principles and the fact that it was very comprehensive and systematic. The key principles of Roman law were citizenship and citizenship rights, the right to have a proper trial, the right to appeal, that the law was the same for everyone and nobody was above the law, that the burden of proof rests on the accuser, not the accused, and that unfair or redundant laws could be repealed.
