Early Law / The Rights Of A Patron
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the relationship between the Digest that was part of the Corpus Iuris Civilis ordered recorded by Emperor Justinian of the early Byzantine Empire, c. 534. Only two Articles of the body of civil law of the Empire are examined here (Articles XIV and XV), but their relationship to the evolution of the lord and serf relationship of medieval Europe is clear. Remarkably, they even retain applicability to life today. Ariticles XIV and XV address the rights of the patron and the obedience to parents and patrons required of children who were under the age of majority, which at that time was 25. Bibliography lists 1 source.

So many inventions changed how people lived their lives that it was not difficult to leave behind the archaic in favor of the new and improved. However, contemporary inventions were not the only influences during that period; rather, there was a substantial expansion of human rights and basic freedoms due directly to the Enlightenment. Both the scientific revolution and Enlightenment periods, along with baroque style and early modern absolute monarchy, served as responses to the turmoil of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, signaling significant changes to come. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page summation of chapters 15 and 16 from Edward Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. The wrier argues that the second volume of Gibbons' work (in which chapters 15 and 16 appear) is largely concerned with the age of Constantine, which is crucial to Gibbon's overall purpose. This was because the introduction of Christianity throughout the Roman Empire was the central event that, in Gibbon's view, brought about the turning-point that marked the downfall of Rome.
