Just when you thought back to me was an ossified meme, incapable of being as funny as it was the first time ever again, this version is born. fantastic
Americans like to make fun of the British for still clinging onto their decrepit monarchy, but we are just as cucked for hanging onto this decrepit court system whose entire purpose is to justify the petty whims of inbred nobles.
Common law is one of the dumbest concepts to ever exist, and it is a plague on the earth. It also gave us capitalism.
Been going through the Age of Napoleon and I legit never knew how fascinating Napoleon was. He was such a bastard, but I can't help but root for him in beating the allies.
you do not under any circumstances gotta hand it to napoleon but you kinda gotta hand it to him on the issue of common vs civil law
Wait, what is this pamphlet I found? "18th of Brumaire"?, whatever, but this Bonapartism sounds cool.
Britain’s legal system was Common Law, which the USA inherited and copied from them. Common Law gives massive power to judiciaries.
common law, also known as judicial precedent, judge-made law, or case law, is the body of law created by judges and similar quasi-judicial tribunals by virtue of being stated in written opinions. The defining characteristic of “common law” is that it arises as precedent
The French instead used Civil Law, especially under Napoleon. Civil Law gives more power to legislatures and restricts the ability of judges to make decisions and precedent.
Civil law is a legal system originating in mainland Europe and adopted in much of the world. The civil law system is intellectualized within the framework of Roman law, and with core principles codified into a referable system, which serves as the primary source of law
We sometimes ironically stan Napoleon because he was anti-Anglo and attacked Britain quite often
In common law, judges strip your rights based off of what this guy said 100 years ago which was based off of what this other country's judge said 400 years ago about witches. None of that BS precedent stuff in civil law.
Letting the legislatures craft statutes RE abortion is judicial overreach, actually.
