Kitap açıklaması
In mj plan, I mentioned that I would consider our municipal law under two great divisions; that, under the first, I would treat of the law, as it relates to persons; and that, under the second, I would treat of it, as it relates to things. I pursue those two great divisions; and begin with persons. Persons are divided into two kinds natural and artificial. Natural persons are formed by the great Author of nature. Artificial persons are the creatures of human sagacity and contrivance; and are framed and intended for the purposes of government and society. When we contemplate the constitution and the laws of the United States and of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania ;the mighty object, which first arrests our attention, is the people. In the laws of England, as they have been imposed or received during the last seven centuries, the PE very indiyidual or entity which has rights or the capacity to owe duties is a person. In the strict legal sense the word person refers to the capacity, character or statns of the heing rather than to the man or entity. The Romans expressed the idea hy saying :U nus homo sustlnet plures i ersonas ;or, one man sustains many conditions or characters. 1A ustin s Jur.
