From the Paper:
"Scholars conventionally treat the development of Roman law as having undergone three major phases: the Republic, the Principate, and the Dominate. The Republic (510 B.C.) represented the birth of codification and legal thought, and a period of limited direct participation by the people in the lawmaking process. Under the Principate (27 B.C.), the participation of the people was all but eliminated, in favor of the emperor's control over most of the state machinery. While the Principate emperors? absolutism was disguised behind a facade of Republicanism, the Dominate period (284 A.D.) saw no attempts to hide the fact of imperial totalitarianism.The early Roman Republic was characterized by the "Struggle of the Orders," an ongoing cleavage between patricians and plebeians. Patricians enjoyed numerous advantages over plebeians.."
