Excerpt from Popular Law-Making: A Study of the Origin, History, and Present Tendencies, of Law-Making by Statute
In order to understand, therefore, what a statute is, and why it has grown important to consider statute-making, it is necessary to have some knowledge of the meaning of the word law, and of the origin both of representative govern ment and of legislatures, before we come to statutes, as we understand them; for parliaments existed centuries before they made statutes as we now use this word. Statutes with us are recent; legislatures making statutes are recent every where; legislatures themselves are fairly recent; that is, they date only from the end of the Dark Ages, at least in Anglo Saxon countries. Representative government itself is sup posed, by most scholars, to be the one invention that is peculiar to the anglo-saxon people.
