Originally law were kept secret and the proceedings of the senate were not published. This left a lot of room for abuse of the poor by the aristocracy. The plebeians wanted written and published laws and prosecution procedures so that the rules were known by everyone, restricting abuse and giving people a chance to appeal. The uppermost grievance of the poor was the abuse of defaulting debtors by the (rich)creditors who imprisoned them, tortured them, and sometimes sold them as slaves. The Law of the Twelve Tables also established court procedures which provided a degree of protection for the defaulting debtor. The law also established clear standard penalties for crimes.

The plebeians wanted written laws in order to make the laws clear and fair for all. Before the written code (the Twelve tables) the law was administered by what was customary and there was a lot of misinterpretation of the customary laws.

The plebeians demanded that the laws be written so that they could know what they were. Before they were written, only the patricians knew what they were and could interpret them in any way. The written body of the laws was called the Twelve Tables.The plebeians demanded that the laws be written so that they could know what they were.

NO
The plebeians had no rights and that bothered them just because they were not natives to the land
The Romans government became more democratic by the revolt of the Plebeians. The Patricians' strangle hold on power was broken and the Plebeians gained rights. These rights were written, and referred to as the Laws of the Twelve Tables.
The end result was a recognition of the civil rights of the plebeians. The laws were written down and supposed to be followed.
because the patricians ruled over the plebeians and they made unfair laws and the plebeians had to work with no pay and no breaks.
The plebeians received a fair list of laws that fairly regulated the lives of the citizens. They were not sold into slavery for not paying the patricians. They also gained the right to marry patricians.
There was equality because the Plebeians rioted. Also the Laws of Twelve Tables were created for everyone. Everyone was equal
The Concillium Plebis was an assembly of the plebeians which was able to pass semi-laws. Their aim was to take some of the power from the patricians, but their legislation was not considered a law but a "plebiscitum" meaning that it only applied to the plebeians and not to the patricians. In the year 287 BC, the laws passed by the plebeian consul were recognized and covered most areas.The Concillium Plebis was an assembly of the plebeians which was able to pass semi-laws.

Plebeians demanded that Roman law be written down to ensure transparency and protect their rights against arbitrary decisions by patrician magistrates. Without a written code, laws were often subject to interpretation and could be manipulated by the elite. The establishment of the Twelve Tables in 450 BCE provided a clear and accessible legal framework, promoting fairness and accountability in the legal system. This demand was a crucial step in the struggle for greater political equality and representation for the plebeians.
