C All members of society would be provided for by the government. D Gruesome gladiator matches would not be allowed in public places.

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct answer is B. All citizens would be equal before the law.

Explanation:

A is not correct as Roman laws didn't abolished slavery. Slavery existed until the end of Empire practically.

B is correct as this concept was created back then, but we need to have in mind that many people in Rome weren't considered citizens.

C is not correct as only certain members of society could participate in political life - in Senate for example.

D is totally wrong as gladiator matches were part of everyday entertainment.
