1CHAPTER 1THE HISTORICAL BASIS AND CURRENTSTRUCTURE OF THE AMERICAN LEGALSYSTEMCHAPTER OUTLINEThe Historical Basis of American Law•Before the Government•The Results of the Revolution•The Influence of Political Theories•Balance as the Key to SuccessThe Modern Legal System•The Sources of Law•The Hierarchy of Law•The Exception to the Rule of HierarchyLECTURE KEYS1.Early American settlers came to escape religious persecution and take advantageof economic opportunities. Settlers used many of the laws of their homelands andbrought their prevailing attitudes toward religion. Under these laws and attitudes,people were charged and punished by the government for committing acts thatwere regarded as sinful and thus illegal.2.As the population grew, foreign governments increased their efforts toestablish a formal and permanent influence in the New World byestablishing government offices and authorities and imposing taxes on therich natural resources and products of America.3.Many of the colonists did not want to be under the rule of a foreign governmentthat they believed would not be responsive to the will of the people and wouldnot allow them to maintain the personal freedoms they had gained by leavingthose countries in the first place.4.The need to establish a permanent government structure in order to manage issueson a local basis, raise a military for defense, and avoid rule by another countrywas realized. Despite some movement toward creating many small independentnations, representatives of the colonies agreed success was more likely if therewas a unified front.5.The concept of crime being equal to what was considered wrong or sinful asdefined by those in authority was based on the naturalist theory—a belief that allpersons were born with the ability to distinguish the difference between right andwrong and the knowledge of their responsibility to act in the proper manner.See Practical Application1.1 and the Point for Discussion.
