Respuesta :

The correct answer is D.The same evidence shows that both plebeian and a patrician committed assault. The plebeian is found guilty, while the patrician is found innocent.

Before they were introduced, there was no equality in front of the law when it came to different classes in the society. The situation in D describes how it would be before the law, while the twelve tables abolished this. Patricians and plebeians would now answer the same if proven guilty.

Answer:

D.The same evidence shows that both plebeian and a patrician committed assault. The plebeian is found guilty, while the patrician is found innocent.
