Introduction

During the Renaissance, Continental Europe underwent a pivotal intellectual transformation; cultural, social and political assumptions and structures, once thought fundamental, were questioned and changed. European legal systems were not immune to these changes. After a revival of Roman law in late medieval Italy, the phenomenon spread to France and Germany, among others. These countries were said to have “received” the Roman law. Some legal scholars have questioned why, during the Renaissance, the English common law remained relatively intact. After all, the classic historian opinion assumed that the common law was in serious difficulties at the beginning of the sixteenth century, and that ‘the continuity of English legal history was seriously threatened’ by current Romanizing trends. [Baker p. 4] By the time the Roman laws reached England, the country was far too politically stable and effective for a foreign legal code to usurp its national law.

Our essay has been uploaded to wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Renaissance#Reception_of_Roman_Laws

EDIT 2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Reception_of_Roman_law_in_the_Renaissance We will continue to make edits (adding footnotes etc.) so that it better conforms with the wikipedia format.

EDIT: Please note that someone has deleted the writing from the wikipedia page multiple times due to some sort of noncompliance with wikipedia's copyright policy. I am working towards resolving this in a timely manner. Thank you.

Official Explanation: Because the text is not in compliance with cc-by-sa. Look at the disclaimer at the bottom of the page [13] -- it would have to be marked as 'authored by Eben Moglen' in order to be licensed under cc-by-sa -- else it is 'All material on this collaboration platform is the property of the contributing authors' which does not comply with our copyright policy. The disclaimer on the bottom of the page needs to be updated if you want to copy-paste without the 'Eben Moglen' attribution. Thanks, Antandrus (talk) 16:17, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

I'm afraid I've had to revert the material you pasted from http://emoglen.law.columbia.edu/twiki/bin/view/EngLegalHist/TheNon-ReceptionInEngland. That site does not have a compatible license for uploading material here. It only grants a a cc-by-sa license to material marked as authored by Eben Moglen. None of that material is marked with his authorship
