The Justinian
Code was created in order to create one single set of laws for all of the
Byzantine Empire. This code was extremely important because it served as the
basis for everyday actions within the empire including marriage, criminal
justice, slavery, and property rights. Along with this, the code ended up
serving as the basis for the laws of the Byzantine Empire for the next 900
years. Countries all over world use ideas from Justinian Code's in order to
form a comprehensive set of laws. The four sections of the code are the Codex
Constitutionum, Digesta, Institutiones, and the Novella Constitutiones Post
Codicem.
Sometimes one law repeated another, and sometimes two laws might say opposite things. Justinian found the whole situation confusing. He told hid advisors that a single empire needed a single set of laws. He wanted all his subjects to obey the same laws, no matter where they lived. The laws should be easy to understand and, he insisted, they should not contradict each other. The Justinian’s Code helped unite the Byzantine Empire, but it was also an enduring gift to the wold. Clear and consistent, the code later severed as a model for the codes of law in many modern nations.
His “95 Theses,” which propounded two central beliefs—that the Bible is the central religious authority and that humans may reach salvation only by their faith and not by their deeds—was to spark the Protestant Reformation
