Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complexities of codifying and writing public instruction, with the author proposing a comprehensive plan for the United States. The author's goal is to establish a system of statute law that includes a substitute for the confusing body of common law the US inherited from England. The author argues that his proposed plan has several advantages, including the provision of explanations and justifications for every point of law, making it easier to understand and apply. Additionally, the plan includes a clear division between main text and explanatory matter, helping to ensure clarity and organization. The author suggests the establishment of a promulgation paper system to provide notice of all new laws to ensure they are known and understood before they come into effect. The author concludes by emphasizing that this book offers an invaluable resource for anyone interested in improving the codification and public instruction systems in the United States, providing insights that can lead to a more just and equitable society.
