What is Common Law?

.....The common law can be described as; law not initially set down in writing, unlike statutes or constitutions (which are derived from the legislative branch of government). Common laws received their binding power and the force of law, by long immemorial usage, and by their universal reception. Common law predates written law. Much of the foundation of common law is derived from biblical teachings, like the Ten Commandments. Common law is the underlying foundation of our Constitution and the principles of law used by our judicial system today. Common law is the law of the land!

.....Who is common law intended for? The answer is; flesh and blood people, or sovereigns. The purpose for legislative law or administrative law, which includes all codes and regulations, are to regulate the actions and behavior of artificial entities, such as corporations, associations, organizations and political & governmental bodies, not flesh and blood people.
