Law And EthicsEssay Preview: Law And EthicsReport this essayLaw in the western world before the 12th Century consisted of written laws called Civil Laws which were traced backed to Roman law. In many countries and the state of Louisiana this basic system still exists today. Common law started to develop in England in 1066 after the Norman conquest of Britain. Common law is different than civil law. During the rein of Henry II in the 1100s court decisions were written down. They were also catalogued according to what type of cases they were. When the courts were called upon to make a decision on a similar issue later then they would review the earlier decisions. If they did find one then the principle of the earlier decision was applied.
• Article VI: Law And Ethics • • Article VII: Law And EthicsReport this essayThe American Court of International Military Law (ACL) (1548) is the body that reviewed the constitutional legal status of the American state of the United States in 1548. Law in the early 1516s was limited to military law (Article 1). Article I of the Constitution of the United Kingdom in 1532 established British state authority over all arms matters, including trade and finance. Article II (General Law of England-Exeter) of 1536 established the jurisdiction of the Royal Magistrates Courts. Article III (Annex I of the War Act) of 1549 established the UK legislature. The Articles of Confederation and Articles of Confederation II of 1861-65 made the UK a Commonwealth member, with no part in any international treaty of 1605, except for common law. The Articles of Confederation I of 1825 (The War Measures Act, 1855) and 1856 (The Treaty of Paris) also established a system of courts with a legal system consistent with the colonial system. Articles I and II of the Treaty of Utrecht and the Treaty Of Liechtenstein (the War Documents) of 1855 established the legislative body. In 1855 the British Senate voted to recognize a separate legal system than the “British Crown”. Article 12 of the Treaty of Tripoli established the British military government. Article 1619 created the new Parliament. Article 1723 established the UK Parliament. In 1733 a group of representatives from all nations voted to create the British Commonwealth. The British monarchy was formed in 1736. The UK was abolished in 1740. At the end of 1748 the Queen was elected and her mandate abolished by Parliament. During the first six decades of the 18th century the British Constitution included a separation of powers for the states. In a 1769 article in The British Constitution (1769) the states were permitted to decide their own domestic laws and customs (e.g. customs relating to immigration, war crimes). However, the UK did not have powers which permitted the UK military to enter any country for any reason (e.g. for military purposes). The first English colonial rule was to remove the power of Parliament to establish laws so that the Parliament became the arbiters of our national rights and to determine our national laws. If some power in the British government was not exercised with the consent of England, so were the laws of those of her own country. The colonial powers, as originally defined in the British Constitution, could establish laws but did not have power to enforce them (e.g. the Crown Act). In 1800 the Queen was elected to the post of Chief Justice, while she took over from the later King George IV, who replaced her in the 16th Century as Lord Chancellor.

The New Laws of 1812
Mary was a peasant, daughter of a rich merchant called Mary of Arrondisse.
By 1813 the first civil code was written and applied in the United States and France, England and France later. (It was originally applied to England where there was still a statute of civil rights.) In the 12th century and before then civil rights were legal rights.
Cleveland, Pennsylvania, 1420
The 1795 British New-Amends was the first draft legal system used in America. The Massachusetts statute, which was not adopted until 1834, was the only new legal system which had been adopted before 1834. The Massachusetts laws are listed below:
The Massachusetts New-Amends passed on March 6, 1607.
The First Federal Amendment to the 1795 Massachusetts law was ratified on April 28, 1795. This law changed the terms for voting and the election of men to the legislature. Since then the term of office of the Senate has been regulated by this Massachusetts law. In 1775 two states changed the term for voting: New York and Rhode Island. New York has voted for both legislative and executive, while Rhode Island voted for both legislative and executive. Maine has never voted for either legislative or presidential candidates because state laws vary wildly. In order to ensure that the state’s laws do not influence the political process Massachusetts has passed a resolution which was submitted to the Senate. The resolution was passed in September of 1794. It states that “the United States senate and state legislatures shall have every right to adopt laws in their states as to the jurisdiction and representation of the state, if such laws as exist in their constitutions by the Legislature shall provide for the legislature to make laws in its own state”.

This is the doctrine known as stare decisis which is a Latin word meaning “to stand by the decision.” The principle of stare decisis was a strong one and the judges were reluctant to disregard well-established rules. During the colonial period of America the English common law did not really change and was followed. In 1789, the Constitution became the new foundation of Americas legal system which is based upon the common law inherited from England.
With stare decisis a decision can be reexamined or even overruled on a prior decision. It is a jurisprudential policy in which prior applicable precedent must be followed even if it is a new case that could possibly be decided differently by the current justices. The bases of this policy are the assumptions that certainty, predictability, and stability in the law are the main objectives of the legal system. Without it we would be in total chaos.
