1804 CE

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.
