A History of Britain 3

It always disgusts me how men since the beginning of time have deemed it ok to show they are strong and prove they are man by raping and demeaning women. They are always brutal savages no matter the year. Men still always associate war and stealing right along with rape. What is with that? How is it ok to have that kind of testosterone ???? The evil things they have always done to women is outrageous!!! Even in today's war torn countries, they kill the men but save the women for nasty rape

a poor country england is,without any culture or civilization.thats whats BRITAIN IS........

Thats correct, "law" in persia and china meant little more than the will of the supreme ruler, who derived their sovereignty from a deity. In that sense, it wasn't "law" at all, not in any truly meaningful sense. As you say, the whole point of the common law system is that it is codified and consistent, transcending the arbitrary whims of any individual leader.

exactly! you write very well and have a keen mind and intellect. much to the chagrin of many monarchs of the british civilization the common law became a nightmare and a headache especially to those who opted for arbitrary rule or whim of the monarchy.

although I believe that the Romans gave us much, I agree. Here's to the so-called barbarians who axed as many of them as they could.

There had been coded systems of law in Babylon prior to that. Greek city states had also made coded systems of laws. The idea of an orthagonla design for a city began in Greece. Indoor plumbing occurred in Rome. The difference w/Rome vs. Rome and China, is that Rome sought to establish a Republic, but couldn't do so on a massive scale, so it reverted to an empire as China and Persia did. The idea of having a Republic on a mass scale didn't really occur until 1776 w/ the American colonies.

actually rome did have a massive republic in the latter half of the 1st century bce but the fundamental problem of who controls the executive ( real power ) resulted in a number of successive competitions among a series of senators, consuls and opportunists. not to mention the innate nature of mankind notably ambition, greed and lust which are all a part of the human condition. intially rome was a kingdom but early romans got rid of the sole leader idea in exchange for a dual executive.

The original Race of Romans is long gone...

I thought they just ended up as Italians!
