Happy Holidays to my hard-working global students. Since you have worked so hard over the past few weeks, all you need to do to get FULL credit for this blog is respond (appropriately) to show me that you have read it. Enjoy your holiday season with family and friends and be sure to relax over break. See you next year!

The Twelve Tables
Blog #1- Due Sunday, December 6th
The Twelve Tables were the first set of written Roman laws. As the name suggests, the laws were carved onto twelve stone tablets and were posted in the Forum for all Roman citizens to see. These laws, created in 451 BC, became the basis for law in the Roman Empire and the foundation of laws that still exist today.
Why was it important that Roman laws were written and posted in a public place for all people to see?
What are some laws that all societies should have?
