Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the origins and evolution of law, tracing its development from the earliest human societies to more complex civilizations. The author embarks on a fascinating journey, revealing how law, in its most basic form, emerges from the customs and traditions of primitive tribes. He examines how these customs become ingrained in societies and are enforced through social pressures, fear of retribution, and the belief in supernatural forces. The book delves into how the emergence of political structures, with the rise of kingship and councils, gradually shapes the administration of justice. The author examines how the development of industry and trade leads to a need for more sophisticated methods of resolving disputes, setting the stage for the rise of formalized legal systems with dedicated courts and procedures. By examining the early stages of law's evolution, this book offers profound insights into the fundamental nature of law itself, challenging conventional views and raising questions about the role of authority, tradition, and societal development in shaping the legal frameworks that govern our lives.
