What is Common Law ?

Democracy is intimately related to governance by the principle that King Arthur put into practice when he sent officers out across the country in order to collect information about the existing practices of common people in relation to everyday life, and then proceeded to embody these practices of common people in the law of the land.

This action alone brought about 'Common Law' based upon common people, and 'Common Sense', into existence and with it what has become England's greatest gift to the world: 'English Common Law'.

The evolution of Britain throughout the centuries since King Arthur's reign, even through and in spite of the Norman Conquest in 1066, brought about a system of government and governance that could not otherwise have been created.

Since the basic unit and building block of the above described common law is the individual person, no other system can more intimately reflect the wishes and well-being of the individual persons occupying the land in which this law, legal system, and system of governance presides.

This is the most honest, honourable, and wise
democratic system possible.


Governance by Common Law

English Common Law forms the written constitution of England, and which is the underlying basis of law and governance in what became Great Britain, with the union between Scotland and England enjoining, as it did Wales.
