Law has been defined, as the "Art of Social Control"; the
system of rules regulating the conduct of mankind. Laws are
not the result of spontaneous action, but they are accumulated
through the course of time to meet the demands of the people to
whom they apply; they are affected by the industry of a country,
and by the political, social and religious belief of the law-makers.
It is evident, then, that one may learn the history of a nation,
by studying its laws.
