Term: LEGES CENTURIATAE

Definition: Leges centuriatae are laws passed in ancient Rome through a voting system called comitia centuriata. These laws were made by the people and applied to all citizens.

A more thorough explanation:

LEGES CENTURIATAE

Leges centuriatae is a Latin term that refers to a law passed in the comitia centuriata, a Roman assembly. It is also known as lex centuriata. These laws were passed by the Roman citizens who were divided into centuries based on their wealth and social status. The majority of the centuries had to vote in favor of the law for it to be passed.

One example of a leges centuriatae is the Lex Licinia Sextia, which was passed in 367 BC. This law allowed plebeians (common people) to hold the consulship, the highest elected office in Rome. Before this law, only patricians (nobles) could hold this office.

Another example is the Lex Hortensia, passed in 287 BC. This law gave the plebeian assembly (comitia plebis) the power to pass laws that applied to all Roman citizens, regardless of their social status. Before this law, only the comitia centuriata could pass laws that applied to all citizens.

These examples illustrate how the comitia centuriata played a significant role in Roman lawmaking and how the leges centuriatae helped to shape the Roman legal system.

While representing himself in court, McKinley's sentence was reduced from 100 years to 25, a sentence he served in full. While still incarcerated, he took the LSAT, or Law School Admission Test, and applied to law school - no shit, thats impressive how much he lowered his sentence being pro say
