 | | The law of such primogeniture is found in Deut. | | | It is apparent from the preceding regulations that both in the Old Testament and in the rabbinical law the prerogative of primogeniture was not conceived as an inalienable right inherent in the first-born, but rather as a gift by the Law, prompted by economic considerations. | | | Rabbinical law further specifies and qualifies the right of primogeniture. |

| | Earlier, also the term cognatic primogeniture referred to this same meaning, but nowadays cognatic primogeniture has extended to refer to any form of primogeniture which allows females. | | | Please notice also that "cognatic succession" is not necessarily same as primogeniture or seniority, thus the word "eldest" has no legitimate place in its definition. | | | However, due to historical meaning of the term, I hereby request you not to equate "cognatic" and "absolute". |

| | Law of Primogeniture |
| | Since primogeniture was such a well known and standard procedure in the English speaking world, no specific mention of this transfer of title to the deceased's real property would usually be made in the court records concerning the estate. | | | The old English Law of Primogeniture concerns the inheritance of "real property" only, such as land, buildings, etc. Under this law, the eldest living son (the "heir at law") inherited all the real property of the father if the father died intestate, i. | | | As a general rule, after the American Revolution, most states abolished both entail and primogeniture. |

| | Primogeniture is grounded on the fact that the state should be able to reckon not on the bare possibility of political inclinations, but on something necessary. | | | Primogeniture is grounded, so it says in the Addition, on the fact that the state should be able to reckon not on the bare possibility of political inclinations, but on something necessary. | | | (In primogeniture it appears that private property is the relationship to the function of the state which is such that the existence of the state is something inhering in, or is an accident of, direct private property, i.e., landed property. |

| | Practical Application of Gaelic Irish Tanistic Succession |
| | Under the Irish system of tanistic succession (as opposed to the English system of pure primogeniture), a "Tanist" i.e., "heir apparent" or, in Gaelic, "Tanaiste", "the expected one", may be nominated by the current Chief, and may be any suitable male from within his 'derbhfine'. | | | Because Brehon Law does not mandate a specific successor, such as a primogeniture heir, as does English law, it is probably best to use the term "implicitly" rather than "de jure" to identify likely tanistic heirs. | | | Only by accepting and ENDORSING primogeniture as the mode of succession or accepting, under any mode of descent, a regrant or modification of title from an external entity such as a successor government, would a Gaelic Irish Chiefship become invalid. |

| | Pohnpei Constitution Article 12 |
| | Under the Trust Territory government the rule of primogeniture was only applied to land held under the standard German form deeds which stated the rule, and even then the courts frequently made exceptions to the restrictions. | | | An action for damages for negligent surveying is not an action for the recovery of an interest in land, for which the twenty year statute of limitation would apply, therefore it may be barred by the lesser statue of limitations. | | | Because the customary Pohnpeian title system was primarily matrilineal and the court's decisions should be consistent with local custom, the primogeniture provisions of the standard form German deeds should be given narrow application and not applied more broadly than it was by the German, Japanese, or Trust Territory governments. |

| | A special case of primogeniture exemplified in the French royal milieu, the Salic Law (attributed to the Salian Franks) forbade any inheritance of a crown through the female line. | | | Until the Statute of Wills was passed in 1540, a will could only control the inheritance of personal property. | | | Primogeniture prevents the subdivision of estates and the requirement to sell property (for example, if two children inherit a house and one cannot afford to buy out the other's share). |
