Anglo-Saxon law |
Also found in: Wikipedia | 0.01 sec. |
Anglo-Saxon lawBody of legal principles that prevailed in England from the 6th century until the Norman Conquest (1066). It was directly influenced by early Scandinavian law as a result of the Viking invasions of the 8th and 9th centuries and indirectly influenced (primarily through the church) by Roman law. Anglo-Saxon law had three components: laws promulgated by the king, customary practices such as those regulating kinship relations, and private compilations. The primary emphasis was on criminal law, though certain material dealt with problems of public administration, public order, and ecclesiastical matters. How to thank TFD for its existence?

Unlike the USA, which was an organic outgrowth of a
political system rooted in Anglo-Saxon laws, customs, traditions, and
language, the political entity created through the SPP--in effect, the
United States of North America (USNA)--would be a forced three-way
marriage of wildly incompatible cultures and political systems. |
