Question

Which of the following is an example of this Justinian Code? No one is permitted to put seals on things in the possession of another, although he alleges that they are his or that they are pledged to him. The Congress shall assemble at least once in every Year, and such Meeting shall be on the first Monday in December, unless they shall by Law appoint a different Day. If anyone ensnares another, putting a ban upon him, but he cannot prove it, then he that ensnared him shall be put to death. A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a Free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Answer 1

No one should put a seal on something that isn't theirs

Answer 2

Answer: The right answer is the A) No one is permitted to put seals on things in the possession of another, although he alleges that they are his or that they are pledged to him.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that this law appears on Book II, Title XVI, of the compilation of laws and opinions of Roman jurists known as the Code of Justinian (529-565). Specifically, the law states that "no one shall be permitted to place a seal upon property belonging to another, without the authority of a judge." Title XVI includes two comments or interpretations in relation to this law, one by Roman emperor Probus to Octavius and another one by Roman emperors Diocletian and Maximian, as well by the Caesars, to Crangasius. It is this second interpretation, or opinion, the one that specifies that no one can attach a seal to property that belongs to another person, even if the former claims that the property belongs to him or he is accountable for it.
