Question

select the correct cell in the table to show whether each statement accurately describes the plebeians.
they formed their own assembly.
they lived mostly on the palatine.
they could vote, and elected tribunes.
they forced the creation of a written law code.

Explanation:

• They formed their own assembly: The Plebeians did form their own assembly, the Concilium Plebis (People's Assembly).
• They lived mostly on the Palatine: The Palatine Hill was mainly inhabited by the Patricians (the upper - class). The Plebeians lived in more modest areas.
• They could vote, and elected tribunes: While the Plebeians could vote in their own assembly (Concilium Plebis) and elected tribunes (Tribuni Plebis) to represent their interests, they did not have the same voting rights as the Patricians in the general Roman assemblies initially. But the statement is an over - simplification. In a more basic sense, they had their own voting mechanism (in their assembly) and elected tribunes. However, a more accurate description would clarify the context of their voting rights. But if we consider the basic fact of their own assembly's voting and tribune election, it is a "Yes".
• They forced the creation of a written law code: The Plebeians' struggle led to the creation of the Twelve Tables (Lex Duodecim Tabularum), the first written law code of Rome.

Answer:

• They formed their own assembly: Yes
• They lived mostly on the Palatine: No
• They could vote, and elected tribunes: Yes
• They forced the creation of a written law code: Yes
