Answer:
The 12 tables were a codification of the customary law of the tribes that founded the Roman state, but was selected and amended according to the needs of the ruling class. they had a small number of provisions that regulate the exchange of goods, provides for severe sanctions against debtors, strict formalism of procedures, attachment to religion, etc. The main part of the law is dedicated to court proceedings and sanctions for torts. It contains several provisions on family and inheritance law, on the law of obligations and a few more provisions on property. One table is dedicated to public law and religion.
Explanation:
Roman law arose only when an attempt was made to codify the law of the Twelve Tables, the oldest Roman law passed 451 BC at the request of the plebeians to limit the arbitrariness of patricians. It got its name from the fact that it was written on twelve bronze plates and displayed on the Forum.
The text has not been preserved, but it has been reconstructed, probably not in its entirety, on the basis of quotations in the works of Roman jurists.
Correct answer: Court cases challenged the legality of discrimination.
I'll mention key court cases after debunking the other answers in the list. Truman's desegregation of the armed forces happened already in 1948, and impacted only those in the armed forces, rather than all African Americans. The suburbs were NOT welcoming toward African Americans, and they remained in living mostly in urban centers.
As to key court cases of the 1950s regarding discrimination:
1950: Sweatt v. Painter and McLaurin v. Oklahoma State Regents. In these cases, the Supreme Court said segregation of African American students in law and graduate schools was unconstitutional. This was the start of challenging "separate-but-equal" policies.
1954: Brown v. Board of Education. Firm decision that "separate but equal" policies were unconstitutional across the education system. Chief Justice Earl Warren, speaking for the unanimous opinion of the Court, said: “Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal.”
1955: Brown v. Board II. The Supreme Court directed that school systems must abolish segregation “with all deliberate speed.”
1956: The Supreme Court affirmed a lower court ruling that the segregation of the Montgomery, Alabama, bus system was illegal. This was in reference to the bus boycott that had begun with the protest by Rosa Parks.
1958: Cooper v. Aaron. The Supreme Court upheld the US Court of Appeals (8th Circuit) decision that resistance by local officials and threats of violence in the community did not justify delaying desegregation. This followed in the wake of the Little Rock Nine (a group of black students) seeking enrollment in LIttle Rock Central High School.
