1804 AD
French Civil Code
Law & constitutions · Codificación, familia y propiedad
The 1804 Civil Code systematized rules on persons, property, and obligations for France. Its later circulation was broad, but its rules on family, property, gender, and status reflected contemporary hierarchies and were not a neutral or universal code.
