Summary: My understanding of this article is that people thought that the American justice system origin from that Anglo-Saxons which turned out to be false. Pollock and Maitland in their excellent history of early English Law, who have distinctly traced it to the Franks, the Franks where the ones who came up with the idea of the common law. In 1776 Virginia was the first state with a constitution which them eventually led to the making of laws all across America.

Questions:
1) why do we need laws?
2) do you think its okay for the government to tell us what to do?
3) if you could brake a law for a day which law would it be and why?
