From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
To concerned admins. This page is intended as a rough draft to the Wikipedia request for an article "Origin of Law". once i feel it is fairly decent i will move it into the standard namespace. Squad'nLeedah 22:22, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
The Origin of Law is the background to our diverse legal systems today, and stretches back from a time before man was able to write down these laws that he wanted to live by. When people think of ancient law they think of the Magna Carta or indeed the 10 Commandments, but evidence shows that the theory of law was understood and implemented somewhat for a very long time prior to that, and some form of justice system prevails amongst even the least developed of cultures alive today, and in fact, there are still some basic laws in western society whose origins can be traced back to Roman Times.
