Abstract

Abstract: The preface to the French Civil Code of 1804 announced a New Order based on Right Reason and the political-legal values of the French Revolution, in an attempt to replace the role which churches had traditionally played in the morality of society.

One-dimensional law came into being in order to regulate all aspects of life and was ultimately to do away with the sin/crime dichotomy..
