Answer:

Explanation:

The Law of the Twelve Tables (Latin: Leges Duodecim Tabularum or Duodecim Tabulae) was the legislation that stood at the foundation of Roman law. The Tables consolidated earlier traditions into an enduring set of laws.[1][2]

Displayed in the Forum, "The Twelve Tables" stated the rights and duties of the Roman citizen. Their formulation was the result of considerable agitation by the plebeian class, who had hitherto been excluded from the higher benefits of the Republic. The law had previously been unwritten and exclusively interpreted by upper-class priests, the pontifices. Something of the regard with which later Romans came to view the Twelve Tables is captured in the remark of Cicero (106–43 BC) that the "Twelve Tables...seems to me, assuredly to surpass the libraries of all the philosophers, both in weight of authority, and in plenitude of utility". Cicero scarcely exaggerated; the Twelve Tables formed the basis of Roman law for a thousand years.[3]

The Twelve Tables are sufficiently comprehensive that their substance has been described as a 'code',[4] although modern scholars consider this characterization exaggerated.[2] The Tables were a sequence of definitions of various private rights and procedures. They generally took for granted such things as the institutions of the family and various rituals for formal transactions. The provisions were often highly specific and diverse.[5]

2. What does Douglass mean when he writes that black soldiers will “wipe out the dark
Vesnalui [34]

The most likely reason why <em>Frederick Douglass</em> said that black soldiers will <em>“wipe out the dark  reproaches”</em> directed at blacks “by our enemies” was that the Civil Rights agitators such as Harriet Tubman, <em>Martin Luther King Jr</em> and many others would be successful in <em>ending slavery</em> and systematic racism.

It is important to note that your question did not include a prior passage or article but it is highly unlikely that he <em>literally meant </em>black soldiers as real soldiers, but that he meant the soldiers of Civil Rights agitations would successfully wipe away the reproach which the white man had put on them with racism and systematic segregation.

The "enemies" here refers to white men

<em>"Black soldiers"</em> meant Civil RIghts agitators

<em>"Dark reproaches" </em>here meant racial segregation.
