The Creation of American Common Law, 1850–1880 snb txt 网盘 pdf kindle 2025 lit 下载

　　This 2004 book is a comparative study of the American legal

development in the mid-nineteenth century. Focusing on Illinois and

Virginia, supported by observations from six additional states, the

book traces the crucial formative moment in the development of an

American system of common law in northern and southern courts. The

process of legal development, and the form the basic analytical

categories of American law came to have, are explained as the

products of different responses to the challenge of new industrial

technologies, particularly railroads. The nature of those responses

was dictated by the ideologies that accompanied the social,

political, and economic orders of the two regions. American common

law, ultimately, is found to express an emerging model of

citizenship, appropriate to modern conditions. As a result, the

process of legal development provides an illuminating perspective

on the character of American political thought in a formative

period of the nation.
