Hm, didn't study much about the Justinian Code. Can you fill me in on whatever you know?

OpenStudy (tiff9702):

I don't know anything

OpenStudy (soullesseyes):

Oh. Well, no worries, there is always Google for me I'll just look up The Justinian Code. May take a moment, okay?

OpenStudy (tiff9702):

Corupus Iurus Civilis or the Justinian Code, was the result of Emperor Justinian's desire that existing Roman law be collected into a simple and clear system of laws, or "code." Tribonian, a legal minister under Justinian, lead a group of scholars in a 14-month effort to codify existing Roman law.

Sorry, left to eat for a bit. Anyways, thanks for the info.

OpenStudy (soullesseyes):

Hm, this is a difficult one. I've narrowed it down to two possible answers, A or B. Which one do you think?

OpenStudy (tiff9702):

B

OpenStudy (soullesseyes):

Ah, good choice. Not everyone will agree with the laws, since they try and give women more rights. Women back then were little more than property to men, so most citizens/the men wouldn't want that.
