From Ch 2 *Recall: if any information in a statement is false, then the entire statement, paragraph, or question should be answered “false.” Analyze the following statement and select “True” or “False” for you response (5 points): According to the text, Criminal law in the United States can be historically traced to England where, during the reign of Henry II (1154-1189), the King applied common customs and traditions of the common people, through judges following the use of precedent, into a body of unwritten judge-made law that by about 1600 established and defined felonies, legal defenses, and self-defense. These unwritten common law concepts were transplanted to America by the colonists. These common laws were eventually written down by legislatures of the colonies, and after the Revolution, the state legislatures, thereby “codifying” (making “statutes by writing down) the laws that reflected their common law (English) heritage.
