Answer 1

Option B, to advocate for the common law, is the right answer.

A prominent 18th-century treatise on the general rule of England by Sir William Blackstone is known as the "Commentaries on the Laws of England". These Commentaries are usually cited as the absolute Pre-Revolutionary reference of common law by the courts of the  United States.
