General division of the aggregate body of the Law.
Taking in the aggregate On viewing the aggregate of that which in any
country has the force of law, it will be found divisible in the first place,
the whole of it, into two portions or branches: viz in the first place, that in which the
rule of action is laid down, simply & absolutely, without reference to the functions of to any
such members of the community, as those whose business it is, under
some such name as that of Judges, or ministers of justice, to secure
the observances of it: [mark]
this brand may be distinguished
by the name
of main or substantive
in the next place that in which a description
is given of the course to be taken by those same official
persons for securing the observance of, & giving execution & effect to,
that same the several arrangements contained in that same
main or substantive branch. This branch may be distinguished
by the name of the adjective branch or law of judiciary procedure.
Taken in the aggregate The main or substantive portion, or branch of the
law, may again be distinguished into two portions or branches: in
the first place that in which individuals are considered Separately
only & in their private capacity. This may be distinguished by the
name of private law — in the next place, that in by which men individuals are
regarded collectively & in some public capacity, with a view to the
powers necessary to be exercised by some oth of them over others,
for the good of the whole: this branch may be distinguished be the
name of public or constitutional law.
