Ancient Roman law -also known as Justinian law- consisted of codified law. A codex was a gathering of all civil Roman law, to ensure that law and justice were clear and transparent.
Nowadays, we can find codified systems in various European and Latin American countries and in some parts of The United States of America, such as Louisiana. These codified systems were inspired and modeled after ancient Roman law.
Legal terminology used today is highly influenced by Latin terminology -this is terminology used in Roman law.-
Regarding ancient Greece, philosophy developed by the Greeks was used by Romans in the process of developing legal theories and deciding on different points of law. The Draconian code, developed by a Greek, was the one that had a homicide law that distinguished between involuntary homicide and premeditated homicide.
Another important thing to highlight is Greek rhetoric, this is the way in which people spoke which has influenced the way in which lawyers speak nowadays.

Answer:
B. No women were allowed to speak at the 1963 March on Washington.
Explanation:
<u>Pauli Murray was civil rights and women’s rights activist that was fighting for the rights of African-American women. </u>
<u>In the wake of the historical March on Washington in 1963. she was angry at the organizers (Martin Luther King, Jr., A. Philip Randolph, and Bayard Rustin) that no women were included in the speeches given during the protest. </u>Suggestions about women speakers were made beforehand, but they refused to give excuses that the list of speakers was already filled.
Murrey saw this as the direct exclusion of the women from the fight and the movement. This is why she coined the term “Jane Crow” (mirroring the name of Jim Craw laws) – to underline the way gender discrimination was present in the civil rights movement as well, and how the racial and gender rights were connected.
