Rome was a Republic that was made up of Plebians and Patricians. The Plebians were the common people and Patricians were wealthy group that had all the power. The Plebians got tired of being ruled unfairly so they elected representatives called the Tribunes. They helped protect the Plebian's rights and that started Roman Law. The Plebians demanded that the laws be written down so that the Patricians couldn't make up laws. They made the Twelve Tablets.They had the laws written on them and they were on public display. This gave the Plebians protection of the law and more rights. This started the legal system that we still use today.
Mercator VS. Peters Maps
The difference between Mercator and Peters maps. At first glance they both seem very different in the way they look. The Mercator map looks like the one you've been shown all your life, in school to learn where the continents are. The Peters looks very different from the maps we know. Neither of them are wrong, it's just the perspective. Peters map is accurate in terms to size of continents, Mercator map is accurate in the way of shape and direction of continents. The Mercator map has the shape of the world and direction of the continents correct but if you want a more real portraition of the continents and the actual size of the land. sources-- https://www.quora.com/Is-the-Gall-Peters-projection-map-accurate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gall%E2%80%93Peters_projection
