or do what you have outlined? How will you monitor and coach their
performance?
Why do you get a copy of the ASA handbook at the beginning of the
year? So you know the rules and consequences of our community.
One of the big reasons plebeians revolted was that they were being
punished for rules the patriarchs made without telling them. The
senate would meet and make new laws but since the senate was a
minority group, most people didn't even know what the laws were.
So a lot of people got upset.

o Much like Hammurabbi's Code and Ahoka's edicts

Closing: How will you have students summarize what they’ve
learned? How will you reinforce the objective’s importance and its
link to past and future learning?

Rome had changed. The people of Rome had changed. They were tired of being ruled by
others. They wanted to rule themselves. So after years of fighting against the last king of
Rome, Tarquin the Proud, the people of Rome created a new form of government. It was
called a republic. In a republic every citizen voted for leaders who would create their laws.
In the Roman republic every citizen could vote for their leaders, but who were the citizens?
Only adult free men could be citizens. That meant women, children and slaves were not
citizens, and could not vote.
The new Roman Republic wanted everyone to know what the laws were. They also wanted to
make sure that the law applied to everyone rich and poor alike. So they engraved the law on
tablets of metal and put them in the forum for everyone to read. They remained there, on
display, throughout the time period that Rome was a republic. These laws were called the
Twelve Tables because there were twelve different sections. These laws were about crime and
property and family matters like marriage and inheritance.
It didn't matter if you were rich or poor; the law applied to every citizen. Here are a few of the laws of the Roman Republic from the Twelve Tables
These have been simplified and reworded but hopefully the meanings have not been
changed.
What does this mean? This is a ______ source.
1. If you are called to appear in court you have to go. If you don't you can be arrested
and forced to go. 2. If you need a witness in court and they refuse to go you can stand in front of their house and
shout out how they are refusing to do their duty as a citizen. You can do this once every
three days. 3. Should a tree on a neighbor's farm be bent by the wind and lean over onto your farm, you can
go to court and get the tree cut down.
4. If fruit falls from your trees it is yours no matter where it falls. 5. If you lied in court you would be thrown off of the Tarpeian Rock.
6. You could not hold a political or business meeting at night. Dinner parties and religious
festivals at night were ok. 7. Everyone who died had to buried or burned outside the city. 8. Rich people could not marry poor people and vice versa (plebeians and patricians).
*This law did get changed later.
