| 22.12 | History of Law |
|
| The history is law is an essential element to understand why we have laws today the way we do. | ||
| Few people in western nations would realize that even in the 21st century, our legal frameworks are based largely on corrupted and twisted laws promulgated by a Christian Emperor fifteen hundred years ago. | ||
| Fewer people still would realize that the history of law has not been advance after advance, but as many backward steps as there have been forward progress. | ||
| History therefore can teach us a great deal about why we come to be in the predicament we are now in modern societies and modern problems. | ||
| The following sections therefore outline a very brief history and those events that have shaken and shaped the world we live in and will live in the future. | ||
