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.

Critics of capitalism pointed to an trait of capitalism that they saw as a big problem what was their main problem with capitali
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The critique of capitalism refers to views and theories that criticize the economic order that spreads with industrialization, which is based on private property, market economy, capital accumulation, dependent wage labor and the individual pursuit of profit, either in principle or in individual aspects.

Hardly different from capitalism itself, the history of criticism of capitalism dates back to the 19th century. The criticism is expressed in individual elements of capitalism such as money and interest management, private ownership of means of production and maximization of profit as well as the consequences attributed to them such as exploitation and impoverishment of the working class.

Practical criticism of capitalism can manifest itself in the establishment of cooperatively organized companies and banks or alternative economic sectors as well as in the partial or full takeover of individual economic segments by actors who pursue less individual pursuit of profit than tasks and goals oriented towards the common good.
