Common law evolves in part based on decisions in court cases.


"Common law" in English history was the body of precedents established by courts and procedures from the Middle Ages onward. It wasn't so much that there was a codified system of laws, but there were past practices and procedures that informed legal decisions to be made in the present. The American legal system still takes this sort of approach to law, letting past precedents inform decisions on new situations that arise.

We're do we see the lasting legacy of the west African culture in our modern society?
Liula [17]

Answer:

A year before the Pilgrims made their famed journey to New England, signing the “Mayflower Compact” and thus inaugurating so many of the myths that we believe about our democratic origins, a very different ship disembarked in that older English colony to the south, Jamestown. Aug. 20, 1619, marked the arrival of 20 enslaved Africans in English North America, “bought for victuale … at the best and easiest rate they could” as recorded by the tobacco planter John Rolfe (Pocahontas’s husband), some 15 months before the Mayflower supposedly landed near Plymouth Rock.
