The two most prominent religious groups, Congregational church Congregationalists and Anglicans , both saw the conversion of slaves as a spiritual obligation, and the ability to read scriptures was seen as part of this process Monoghan 2005 . The First Great Awakening Great Awakening served as a catalyst for encouraging education for all members of society. While reading was encouraged, writing often was not. Writing was seen as a mark of status, and seen as unnecessary for many members of society, including slaves. Memorization, catechisms , and scripture formed the basis of what education was available. Despite the lack of importance generally given to writing instruction, there were some notable exceptions perhaps the most famous of these was Phillis Wheatley , whose poetry won admiration on both sides of the Atlantic. Legislation and prohibitions South Carolina passed the first laws prohibiting slave education in 1740. While there were no limitations on reading, it became illegal to teach slaves to write.

    Unreferenced date December 2009 Main Spring and Autumn Period Certain patterns emerged to govern the conduct of relations among the Sovereign state states of the Spring and Autumn period of ancient China . These patterns constituted a rudimentary system of interstate or international law based on the model of feudalism established under the Western Zhou . The norms of interstate relations during the Spring and Autumn period was one of the earliest systems of interstate relations and international law in the world. It was of importance in the early cultural and political development of China , allowing greater ease in maintaining relations, and facilitating the flow of trade and information . There was a growing body of customary international law which developed as contacts and commerce increased, a number of treaty treaties were signed, and appeal was frequently made to rules set up within the leagues of states. A great many of the canons of interstate law concerned diplomacy among the states.

  1. Athenian law court (classical period)

    Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 The law court s in classical ancient Athens Athens 4th and 5th centuries Anno Domini BC were a fundamental organ of Athenian democracy democratic governance. According to Aristotle , whoever controls the courts, controls the state. These courts were jury courts and very large ones the smallest possible had 200 members 1 to avoid ties and sometimes 500, 1000 or 1500. The annual pool of jurors, whose official name was Heliaia comprised 6000 members. At least on one known occasion the whole six thousand sat together to judge a single case a plenary session of the Heliaia . This was very different from Rome s laws, as in Rome, jury representatives were elected. The Athenian jurors were chosen randomly by lot, which meant that juries would consist, in theory, of a wide range of members from all walks of life. Jurors were chosen on an annual basis, as were all other offices within the state with the exception of the generals, known as Strategos strategoi . After the reforms of Solon in 594 3 BC, anyone from each of the four classes the pentacosiomedimni, hippeis, zeugites and thetes could become a juror. This was meant to make the system much fairer to the poorer members of society, who had previously been excluded in favour of the elitist Aristocracy aristocrats . The archon s who convened the courts had a purely administrative function and gave no legal direction or advice to the jurors there was no judge but the jurors themselves. From the time of Pericles onwards, jury pay was introduced. This was two Obolus obols a day, which, despite not being a substantial amount of money, was enough to encourage even the poorest to become a juror. This was later increased to three obols a day.
