Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the Code Civil, a cornerstone of French law, on the occasion of its 100th anniversary. The essays in this edited volume explore the Codeâs historical significance, its provisions, its strengths, and weaknesses. The Code emerged amidst political upheaval with the goal of unifying France under a single legal framework. It centralized power, while simultaneously extending legal protections to citizens. Drawing on Roman law, French tradition, and revolutionary ideals, the Code addressed matters of civil rights, property, and family structure, many of which remain relevant today. It extended rights to individuals, promoted economic development, and reflected the social values of the time. The author examines areas of civil law and considers how the Code has both accommodated and resisted certain critical social changes. Despite its remarkable longevity and impact, this book argues that the Code Civil, like all legal frameworks, is a product of its time, and in need of reform if it is to reflect modern values. The essays in this book highlight the ways the Code Civil has been amended over time and suggest where further changes may be necessary.
