The Napoleonic Code
The Napoleonic Code or Code of Napoleon, was the first standardized and unified codification of contemporary civil law, issued in 1804 during the consulate of Napoleon Bonaparte, with the aim of regulating in a single text all aspects of the social life of French.
This codification, which still exists, constituted a new paradigm for subsequent legislation, not only in civil matters, but also in criminal, labor, procedural, or tax matters, as it promoted the use of large standardized bodies of abstract norms as the axis of legislative activity, called codes and statutes.
And, although in the past Romans had already codified their law, the Napoleonic Code also had an obvious political connotation, linked to the destruction of institutions from the Old Regime of France, founding a civil law─of citizens─as opposed to the common law─of subjects.
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English.
