    I agree the Arte dei Giudici e Notai never went away it just renamed itself. People have no clue that the courts are run by a private occult guild, there is nothing public about it in reality. We have same private occult guild in charge of our courts today as they did in medieval italy. Live and learn.

    So.... LAW is artificially conjured, adopted and enforced by fictions upon fictions by an assumed consent. One could observe the state of the world today and conclude failure, these ideas. Monetizing ,using Fractional Reserve Banking, enslaved the stongest physical majority, while inflating the status and profitability of the weakest of us using USERY. shameful

    Roman law is the source of humanist legal system. It enabled the legal system to be divorced from the law of the Church.
    The King Alfred's Common law was a legal system of an uneducated people of a small Saxon state. It was derived from a Book of Moses. We still it's ramification today. It is why US legal and political system could not be divorced from religion till this day. It's why state's legislature building still erect 10 commandment monuments to represent "the law." It is why America had to fight a long time for freedom marriage and of same sex marriage.

    Once you are aware of this, the ritual and ceremony. You understand religion and gvoernment and law a little differently. Seperate the class's, keep them in ignorance and fear. Government recognizes employer's and empoyee's only. Law recognizes 2 entities also. Aristocrate and common. Employer and employee.

      brad hagyard spelling. & don't look for big proof in small details. No entity is out to get you or keep you ignorant. The world is huge. Bigger and more going on than you can imagine quickly. Conspiracy theories may be your subconscience's way to deal with the fact your brain is big and bored. It is a lot of chance that society is the way it is. Being a boss is exhausting (mostly mentally). Most people don't want to do it. If greedy self centered people get to positions of power it is because they don't play video games or watch UA-cam or waste time commenting.
      They build up their position in life and leverage that as they go. Some people don't want to lead. They will follow because it is less stress and conflict free. Some won't.

    This lecture would have been very different if Germany had won the Second World War. In that case the professor would have absorbed some of the teaching of Mein Kampf and he would not have danced around the fact that Augustus' auctoritas was based on winning a war.

    That's funny because only the Anglo-American countries use Common Law. Civil Law much more widely used. Both have their pros and cons, making such sweeping statements will only harm you as a lawyer.

  • @jeradclark8533

    I have to disagree with Behrends on a number of historical assertion made herein.
    For instance, the idea that the republic was founded as apprehensively stated by Titus Livius, by the deposition of Superbus by Brutus. That it was the act of freedom loving citizens defeating a tyrant. Many historians, such as Ogilvie assert that Rome was actually conquered by Lars Porsenna. Livius himself lends some credence to this theory. After one reads the laughable story of Mutius and how he turned away the Clusium army by displaying his pain tolerance and threatening Porsenna, I agree. Rome was probably a subjugated city state until the Gallic incursions of the early 4th century B.C.E. which broke the power of Clusium and upset the general social order. The Republic most likely began as a puppet government and given the biographical information we have on Brutus, was headed by a figurehead.
    I suspect that Behrends is a Romanophile. I do respect him though. Machiavelli and Gibbon were Romanophiles. Not bad company to keep at all, just a wee bit biased.

      Giulio Romano Ha! Very good. Well said. But despite these errors within his presentation I must admit that I honestly do believe that Behrends is a stronger historian than I. Just a point of contention.

      Giulio Romano Yes, ignorance can be used as an excuse, some exasperated surrender. Or, perhaps in line with your second path, as a source of curiosity, the foundation for all intellectual honesty, query and study. We will see how the wheel rolls. Hopefully in your favor as well.

    Common law is gods law, natural law cannon law and roman law. With common law there is no need for any other form of law as it cover's all areas civil and criminal law. It is simple everything is commerse and exchange and when there is damage and claim than it is a crime.

    Roman law is the law of empire. A law that controls and mandates the people rather than protect the people. English law is far superior. Which has it's roots going back to around 400 BC with the Molmutine laws .
