Finally we got something.....
These are the laws that helped the plebeians out, those laws are called the 12 tables. These laws were made to help bring the patricians and the plebeians together. The patricians only agreed to make a set of laws for the plebeian's rights because the plebeians refused to do anything for the patricians if they hadn't agreed. the patricians gave in. A ten men commission made these rights originally there were only ten laws. The people of Rome wasn't satisfied with the laws espically the plebeians, they made another commission of ten men. The second commission added 2 more laws to the original laws.
here are the 12 famous tables.......
