A. Both of the above posters are correct, and when you combine their answers , you get cases like the "Troxel" case of grandparent rights. Heard in one state court and eventually appealed to SCOTUS. After the ruling about half of the states had to adjust their ruling anticipating appeals based on Troxel even though their states laws had not come under review. Also, when the justice system is faced with lose / lose outcomes ( such as adverse possession cases), the state courts do look at other states for recent guidance. The law is dynamic and always changing.

Asked by jjjjjthats5js - Sun Oct 18 19:45:12 2009 - History - 1 Answers - Comments

A. The fact that Napoleon crowned himself was in contrast to the tradition that the Pope conferred the heavenly right to rule in the name of God. Traditionally, the Pope crowned the kings and emperors, but Napoleon took the crown from the Pope's hand, and ceremoniously placed it on his own head. By doing this, he was saying that he had become emperor through his own efforts, and not through the whim of the Clergy, or as a result of blind fate. Although his rule would be similar to the earlier French kings, at least the beginning was an homage to the hope that this king would not rule by "divine right". Additionally, the coronation took place at the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris, a clear sign from Napoleon that he was a son of the… [cont.]

A. As you may know, the rest of the United States adopted the British legal system. Many of our cases use British law as precedent (as a legal basis for our rulings). Louisiana adopted and has kept the French system of government. I think it stems back to the time in question. Louisiana entered the union on April 30, 1812. It was a vastly different time then our own in many ways. The most important factor is that the United States (federal government) was seen as being there to fulfill the state's needs, instead of the reverse, like it is now. The important government unit was the state, and the fed was just a general binding influence (at least when compared to today). So Louisiana formed a state, made its laws, and it really was unimportant… [cont.]

A. An idealist response might be that jurists in France would have regarded the Napoleonic Code as a vast improvement over the royal codes that preceded it, because it was closely based upon ancient Roman legal structures that have proven extremely useful over the centuries. That is one reason why similar codes are currently the basis of law in most countries -- and even a few States in the US, particularly Louisiana, which still uses a slightly modernized version of the Napoleonic Code. A more realistic response would be that Napoleon overthrew the legislatures that had come to power after the Reign of Terror, and Napoleon himself had the power to appoint or remove judges from any court in the country however he pleased. He was, after all, a… [cont.]
