Sinopsis

Civil Code Origins delves into the rich history of civil law, tracing its roots from ancient Roman legal traditions to its modern manifestations in systems around the world. The book explores how the concept of codification, the systematic organization of legal principles, has shaped legal landscapes. Intriguingly, the Corpus Juris Civilis, commissioned by Emperor Justinian, laid a crucial foundation for later European legal developments. The text argues that civil law systems, while sharing common ancestry, exemplify continuous adaptation and reinvention reflecting unique social and political contexts. The book investigates the rediscovery and adaptation of Roman law in medieval Europe, highlighting the roles of legal scholars and jurists in shaping and interpreting these codes. It then examines the development and impact of specific national civil codes, such as the French Napoleonic Code and the German BGB, including their philosophical underpinnings and societal consequences. By examining the political context in which these codes were implemented and the social forces that shaped their interpretation, the book offers a nuanced understanding of their lasting impact. The book's approach is interdisciplinary, incorporating insights from legal history, political science, and sociology to link the evolution of civil law to broader societal trends. Civil Code Origins begins by introducing the foundational principles of civil law and progresses to a detailed exploration of the Roman legacy, concluding with an examination of contemporary challenges in a globalized world.

History of Mexico

Unlike the USA, the history of Mexico dates back to well within 1900 years or so. Discovery of Mexico was a coincidence. Again, the Spaniards were the first to discover Mexico too. French and the Spanish armies try to invade Mexico and neighboring parts of the north Americas.

Today Mexico is one of the competent nations of the world, with massive natural resources and technological growth and development in the 21st century.

State of the Union 1984

Ronald Reagan

The 1984 State of the Union address, delivered January 25, 1984, praises “bipartisan cooperation” and says: “For a time we forgot the American dream isn't one of making government bigger; it's keeping faith with the mighty spirit of free people under God.” “Inflation has been beaten down from 12.4 to 3.2 percent…” “Real after-tax income increased 5 percent last year.” “We're seeing rededication to bedrock values of faith, family, work, neighborhood, peace, and freedom…” 
Let us agree on goals to keep America free and secure. Our first goal is vigorous economic growth. “We can begin by limiting the size and scope of government.” The Grace Commission has 2500 recommendations to reduce wasteful spending. Also, the line-item veto which 43 of the 50 States, including California, grant their Governors is a powerful tool against wasteful spending. 
Additional programs are proposed including a permanently manned space station. Tuition tax credits are recommended for parents who pay private school tuition to improve education by increasing competition among schools. School prayer and a law to protect unborn children from abortion are advocated, as are enterprise zones for high-unemployment areas. 
Finally, peace is our great goal and highest aspiration. “The future is best decided by ballots, not bullets.” We will seek concerted action to combat terrorism, and work for “freer world trade, greater competition, and more open markets.” “A nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought.”  
Carl Sandburg said, “I see America in the crimson light of a rising sun fresh from the burning, creative hand of God… I see great days ahead for men and women of will and vision.''
