laws
Today in Honor's Western Civilization we continued on the Ancient Rome power point. Today we took notes on the twelve table and the bill of rights in America.
Twelve Tables
-publically displayed
gave rights to Plebians, not just aristocrats
-only protected free born male citizens
We can see that the twelve tables are very similar to the bill of rights that was created when America was seeking independence from England. They were laws that could not be violated even by the government. One of the laws on the bill of rights that I found interesting was that quartering was not allowed. It's interesting because you never real hear anyone anymore complain that military is settling in their house and eating their food and stealing their horses. I also found the second ammendment interesting because I'm curious about what exactly they perceived arms to be back then. Were arms AR-15s or were they muskets. I'm also curios whether or not the ammendment will be changed. After taking notes the bell rang and ended class.
