| | Civil code - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A typical civil code deals with the fields of law known to the common lawyer as law of contracts, torts, property law, family law and the law of inheritance. | | | The first civil code promulgated in America was that of Louisiana of 1804, inspired by the 1800 project of the French civil code, known as the Projet de l'an VIII (project of the 8th year); nevertheless, in 1808 a Digeste de la loi civile was sanctioned. | | | Chile promulgated its civil code in 1855, an original work in confront with the French code both for the scheme and for the contents (similar to the Castillan law in force in that territory) that was written by Andrés Bello (begun in 1833). |

| | The Code was prepared by committees of legal experts under the supervision of Jean Jacques Régis de Cambacérès, who held the office Second Consul from 1799 to 1804; Bonaparte, however, participated actively in the sessions of the Council of State that revised the drafts. | | | His father, Carlo Buonaparte, an attorney, was named Corsica's representative to the court of Louis XVI of France in 1778, where he remained for a number of years. | | | In 1808, a Code of Criminal Instruction was published, which enacted precise rules of judicial procedure. |

| | Napoleon stabilized French currency by creating the Bank of France, and he simplified the tangle of French law by producing the Napoleonic Code. | | | The code, however, did have some negative aspects: it was harsher than Anglo- American "Common Law" in regards to the rights of criminals (Napoleonic law favored the prosecution and downplayed the "rights of the accused"). | | | The Napoleonic Code created a single, streamlined system of law, which enshrined the basic tenants of the Revolution, such as the legal equality of all citizens. |

| | The Code represented a comprehensive reformation and codification of the French civil laws. | | | The Civil Code represents a typically Napoleonic mix of liberalism and conservatism, although most of the basic revolutionary gains - equality before the law, freedom of religion and the abolition of feudalism &; were consolidated within its laws. | | | Under the ancien regime more than 400 codes of laws were in place in various parts of France, with common law predominating in the north and Roman law in the south. |

| | The code follows the Institutes of the Roman Corpus Juris Civilis in dividing civil law into personal status (e.g., marriage), property (e.g., easements), and the acquisition of property (e.g., wills), and it may be regarded as the first modern analogue to the Roman work. | | | The Code Napol& embodied the private law of France (i.e., law regulating relations between individuals) and, as modified by amendments, it is still in force in that country. | | | It is a revised form of the Roman law, i.e., the civil law, which prevailed generally on the Continent. |

| | Civil Code countries and the American legal system also have something in common: The U.S. Constitution has served as a basic law for more than two centuries, and its interpretation by the courts can be compared to what happens in France with the Civil Code. | | | Napoleon did not invent the concept of a legal code; that distinction goes to the Roman Emperor Justinian, who in the 6th century included such a document in his Corpus Juris Civilis. | | | The Civil Code, Napoleon’s proudest achievement and most enduring legacy, is a perfect example: It stipulated that there was only one law of the land, and that everyone—regardless of social standing or religion—was equal before it. |

| | A Look at European History |
| | The Napoleonic Code laid the foundation upon which many of today’s governments are built upon by stressing a uniform codification of law, separation of church and state, and equal rights among men. | | | When the Napoleonic Code (also called the Civic Code) was being enacted, the Catholic Church was all but abolished when its courts, tithes, and monastic orders were either eliminated or heavily restricted, stripping it of political influence and funding capabilities. | | | To strengthen this unity, when countries sought to alter the Napoleonic Code to meet their social wants, Napoleon responded by prohibiting all but very slight modifications to it. |

| | In Louisiana, the only civil-law state in the United States (which is otherwise bound by common law), the civil code of 1825 (revised in 1870 and still in force) is closely connected with the Napoleonic Code. | | | The first book of the code deals with the law of persons: the enjoyment of civil rights, the protection of personality, domicile, guardianship, tutorship, relations of parents and children, marriage, personal relations of spouses, and the dissolution of marriage by annulment or divorce. | | | During the 19th century, the Napoleonic Code was voluntarily adopted in a number of European and Latin American countries, either in the form of simple translation or with considerable modifications. |
