<span>The original Napoleonic Code, or Code Napoléon (originally called the Code civil des francais, or civil code of the French), was the French civil code, established at the behest of Napoléon. It entered into force on March 21, 1804. The Napoleonic code was the first legal code to be established in a country with a civil legal system. It was based on Roman law, and followed Justinian's Corpus Juris Civilis in dividing civil law into: 1.personal status; 2.property; 3.acquisition of property. The Napoleonic Code properly said dealt only with civil law issues; other codes were also published dealing with criminal law and commercial law. Even though the Napoleonic Code was not the first, it was the most influential one. (For a list of early codes, see here). It was adopted in many countries that were occupied by French forces during the Napoleonic Wars and thus formed the basis of the private law systems also of Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Portugal and their former colonies. Other codes with some influence in their own right were the Swiss, German and Austrian ones, but even there some influence of the French code can be felt, as the Napoleonic Code is considered the first sucessful codification. Thus, the civil law systems of the countries of modern Europe, with the exception of the United Kingdom, Ireland, Russia, and the Scandinavian countries have, to different degrees, been influenced by the Napoleonic Code. The Code has thus been the most permanent legacy of Napoleon. </span>

What is the open range?
Lerok [7]
The essence of open range was the free grazing of cattle on millions of unfenced acres of public land. It was possible to become wealthy raising cattle without owning any acreage. Although most ranchers owned a base operation, some owned millions of acres. America's open range started with the Civil War [1861-1865].

azamat
Alright. judicial: they can declare laws made by Congress to be unconstitutional, this is called judicial review; they can declare executive orders to be unconstitutional as well. they are limited by the executive branch because the justices of the Supreme coart are put in place by the president and confirmed by Congress. they also have to judge based on the constitution which can be amended.
executive: can check the judicial branch through pardoning orders and choosing new justices, can check the legislative branch through suggesting bills, refusing to sign bills, and executive orders (which interpret how the law is enforced) the executive branch is also checked by the legislative branch in how all cabinet members are approved by Congress and the president can be impeached by Congress as well. it is checked by the judicial branch through judicial review of executive orders.
legislative: can impeach the president, confirm justices and cabinet members, and can change the constitution. checked by presidential veto, judicial review, and well their constituents too. hope this helped.
