Description : Revolutions disrupt established legal orders, leading to the creation of new legal frameworks that reflect the ideals and goals of the revolutionaries. Historical examples include the French Revolution, which abolished feudal laws and established principles of equality and secularism, and the Russian Revolution, which led to the establishment of a socialist legal system. These conflicts demonstrate the fluidity of law, as it adapts to societal transformations. The book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of law and society. While understanding the long-term perspectives of the topics, the book makes an effort in highlighting their impact as a modern tool for the growth of the discipline. It is meant for students who are looking for an elaborate reference text on understanding historical contexts to comprehend contemporary legal frameworks.
