Question

What was the purpose of Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England

Answer 1

The purpose of Blackstone's commentaries on the laws of England was to provide a source of common law that most people could read. The work was divided into four volumes: the rights of persons, the rights of things, private wrongs and public wrongs.

Answer 2

Answer:

In order to create a source of common law that the majority of people could read, Blackstone wrote commentary on the English statutes. There were four volumes in the work: one each for private wrongs, one for public wrongs, and one for the rights of objects.

Explanation:

• Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England, a very significant work on English law, meticulously organised the vast collection of statutes and court rulings known as the "common law" into a comprehensible set of legal rules.
• Blackstone provided a summary of the laws and court rulings, argued for the common law system as being logical and understandable, and defended the common laws as being true and correct. It was an outstanding achievement.
• The four volumes of the work are titled: the rights of persons, the rights of things, the rights of private wrongs, and the rights of public wrongs.

Thus this is the answer.
