Commentaries on the Laws of England. Book 2: Of the Rights of Things.

Gelesen von Roy Haines

(5 Sterne; 1 Bewertungen)

The Commentaries on the Laws of England by Sir William Blackstone, are a prominent and authoritative 18th century dissertation on the common law of England which not only pertains to that country, but is also at the foundation of the American legal system. They were widely read and a huge influence on America's Founding Fathers and, to this day, are occasionally quoted in U.S. Supreme Court decisions when expounding upon principals of universal and enduring human justice.

The commentaries were divided into four books: On the Rights of Persons, On the Rights of Things, Of Private Wrongs, and Of Public Wrongs. This second volume deals chiefly with the English laws regarding property both real (of land) and personal, and the origin and history thereof. (Summary by the reader, Roy Haines)
