The Common Law vs the Civil Law

[Gavilan]

So in my search for the common law, I have come across very interesting things, for example:


You have to go back in history and study English and Roman history to find out how we end up with different jurisdictions for common law and civil law. See, Civil law is the successor to Roman Law. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_law "Roman law forms the basic framework for civil law, the most widely used legal system today, and the terms are sometimes used synonymously."

England was ruled by the Romans, and when they left: By the 5th century A.D. barbarian tribes were attacking other parts of the Roman Emperor Honorius decided that the Roman legions in Britain were needed elsewhere. He sent a letter to the people of Britain telling them the soldiers had to leave. They must fight the Anglo-Saxons and invaders on their own." http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/primary...roman_remains/

The Anglo-Saxons were on their own, they had to fight to protect themselves, they could no longer count on Rome. But the City of Londinium continued to this very day as an outpost of Roman law! See what Prof. Richard Werner says here scroll to the 14 minute and 50 second mark. https://youtu.be/EC0G7pY4wRE?t=14m50s

Now, see what is going on with the secretive City of London: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrObZ_HZZUc

Now, many people are surprised to hear that the Governments are corporations and for profit, but they are and you have to study English history to find out why.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/primary...roman_remains/ What happened to Roman Britain?

"From the 2nd century A.D. Roman Britain found itself under attack from people who lived outside the Roman borders. The Romans thought these people were not civilised and called them barbarians . The Roman army and navy defended Britain.

By the 5th century A.D. barbarian tribes were attacking other parts of the Roman Emperor Honorius decided that the Roman legions in Britain were needed elsewhere. He sent a letter to the people of Britain telling them the soldiers had to leave. They must fight the Anglo-Saxons and invaders on their own. In AD 410 the last Romans left."

So, the Romans having left Britain, the Anglo-Saxons developed a concept of Natural Right to self-defense: In 1688, Englishmen ousted the Catholic King James II, and estab*lished the Protestant monarch, William of Orange, as king. Parliament finally achieved its longtime goal of asserting its legal superiority over the monarchy. One aspect of this assertion of power involved adopting a declaration of rights, listing such basic liberties as the right to petition and banning practices such as cruel and unusual punishments. The English Declaration of Rights also asserted: “That the subjects which are Protestants may have arms for their defence suitable to their conditions and as allowed by law.” The right was lim*ited to Protestants and the type of arma*ment further restricted by social class. Finally, the right was limited in scope: Parliament retained the power to regu*late or restrict the right as it saw fit to promote public safety and the general welfare of the nation. https://www.americanbar.org/publicat...lf-defens.html

But as you saw back in the second video of the City of London, after the Battle of Hastings in 1066 William the Conqueror made a deal with the people that was running the Ancient City of London (that is to say the money changers) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHnwtkfX2k4

So you can now see how the Dual Jurisdictions developed.
