What were the Twelve Tables of the Roman republic?

The Twelve Tables that were created in the early days of the Roman Republic were born out of problems between common people in Rome called plebeians and the wealthy aristocrats.The plebeians were at the bottom of the Roman citizen classes. The wealthy Romans had economic leverage over the plebs and the plebs protested by refusing to work or staging sit down strikes.Aside from needing workers on the estates of the rich people, Rome needed the plebs to fill the ranks of the legions. The aristocrats were forced to make reforms to benefit the majority of the Roman people. Here are some examples of the reforms:1. The plebs were allowed to elect 10 special magistrates called Tribunes who were supposed to protect the people with their power to veto unfair legislation.2. The plebs demanded that the Roman laws be changed from unwritten ones to written ones that were published for all to see. This was achieved by the creation of the Twelve Tables which became the basis of written laws to prevent the aristocratic judges from interpreting the unwritten laws to favor the rich.The Twelve Tables were a victory for the common people of Rome.
