The Twelve Tables not only provided laws for Rome, but they also protected plebeians from the abuse of the partricians. These were a major improvement in Rome, and a landmark in human history because for the first time rules were written down. This means that Patricians couldn't make up laws on the spot and pretend they had always existed, but there was a solid set of laws that all literate citizens could look at.

The ancient Roman Twelve Tables had an immense impact on Roman society. Here are some summary facts about this vastly important Roman development:

In addition to the enormous loss of life, the debt incurred and other economic costs associated with the multiple excursions to the Middle East impacted all levels of society, from individual families and villages, to budding nation-states. The wars also resulted in the destruction of cities and towns that lay in the crusaders’ wake. In his Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Edward Gibbon refers to the Crusades as an event in which “the lives and labours of millions, which were buried in the East, would have been more profitably employed in the improvement of their native country.”
