The paper states that there are two different ways of creating laws. One of them is customary codification, meaning the crystallization of already established social principles. The other is contractual codification which is the creation of new laws through rational thinking. It compares the codification methods and delves into the Napoleonic Code through a lens that focuses on these two different mechanisms of forging laws.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Calibri\">Josselin, Jean-Michel, and Alain Marciano. &#8220;The Making of the French Civil Code: An Economic Interpretation.&#8221; European Journal of Law and Economics, November 2002, 193-203.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div class=\"csl-entry\" style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri\">Esprit<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Calibri\"> Du Code Napol\u00e9on: Tir\u00e9 De La Discussion, Ou Conf\u00e9rence Historique, Analytique Et Raisonn\u00e9e Du Projet De Code Civil, Des Observations Des Tribunaux<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"csl-entry\" style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Calibri\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;text-decoration: underline\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;text-decoration: underline\" href=\"http:\/\/gallica.bnf.fr\/m\/ark:\/12148\/bpt6k4261609\/f136.image.langFR\" target=\"_blank\">Alternative 1\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;text-decoration: underline\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;text-decoration: underline\" href=\"https:\/\/books.google.com\/books?id=MLpIAAAAcAAJ&amp;pg=PA191&amp;hl=fr&amp;source=gbs_selected_pages&amp;cad=2#v=onepage&amp;q&amp;f=false\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri\">Alternative 2<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"csl-entry\" style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Calibri\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This book is one of the few primary sources that can be found in this research guide.

It demonstrates how the Napoleonic Code should be interpreted through specific examples. To illustrate, in chapter 4 part 2 section 6, the book talks about the things that needs to be done if a person dies in the sea. Death was a topic that was covered in the Napoleonic Code. This book shows the correct interpretation of the Code by answering questions like: How to make sure that the person has died? How the death of this person should be archived? Thus, it clarifies the ideas of the Napoleonic Code. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Calibri\">France. Conseil d\u2019\u00c9tat.

It delves into the development of the private laws and the influence of the Napoleonic Code in the construction of these laws in countries like Argentina and Chile. Later, the article shows the reasons behind the lessened effects of the Napoleonic Code in today\u2019s Latin America. It claims that weakened European influence along with the globalization of business laws were two of the main reasons behind the diminishing effects of the Napoleonic Code on Latin America. However, this article claims that the Napoleonic Code will continue to rule in Latin America due to the logic behind its structure. Pierre Legrand asserted that the Napoleonic Code is the grammar of laws. Although sentences change, rules of grammar stay the same. Content of laws will always change; nevertheless, the style and the mentality in which they were written will always be the same.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: Calibri\">Mirow, M.

On the other hand, for commercial principles, it claims that Bello was influenced by the Napoleonic Code. It also analyzes the historical and legal context of Chile to make a clear demonstration of Bello\u2019s adaptation of these laws.
