without essential or substantive
reality and that only individual objects have real existence. These universals,
such as animal, nation, beauty, circle, were held to be mere names, hence
the term nominalism. For example, the name 'circle' is applied to things
that are round and is thus a general designation, but no concrete identity
with a separate essence of roundness exists corresponding to the name.
The nominalistic doctrine is opposed to the philosophical theory called
extreme realism, according to which
universals have a real and independent existence prior to and apart from
particular
objects."....Microsoft®

Nerva, Marcus Cocceius
(about 35-98 A.D.),
Roman emperor (96-98 A.D.), known as the first of the so-called
good emperors. He was born in Narnia, Umbria, to parents of senatorial
rank. He was twice consul, in 71 with the emperor Vespasian as colleague
and in 90 with the emperor Domitian as colleague. When Domitian was assassinated
in 96, Nerva was elected emperor by the Senate, reflecting the choice both
of the people and of the soldiers. As an emperor Nerva displayed great
wisdom and moderation. The activities of the informers who had flourished
under Domitian were checked. Nerva chose senators as his councillors and
allowed the Senate to perform its traditional functions. He attempted to
reduce the costs of government. Being interested in the economic welfare
of his country, he had the Senate pass an agrarian law that provided for
the purchase of land for poor citizens. Even more effective was his legislation
to maintain the children of poor parents in the towns of Italy at public
expense. Because of his advanced age and feeble health, Nerva was not vigorous
enough to repress the demands of the Praetorian Guard, who had favored
his predecessor and insisted on the execution of the assassins of Domitian,
retained in office by Nerva. Wishing to place the government in strong
hands, Nerva adopted as his son and successor Marcus Ulpius Trajanus, usually
known as Trajan, who was then in command of the Roman legions on the Rhine
River. Nerva ruled for three months with Trajan, who then succeeded him.....comprised

natural law.noun
a law or body of laws that derives from nature
(means, derived from the Creator)
and is believed to be binding upon human actions apart from or in conjunction
with laws established by human authority
Natural Law: The only actual
law we need is to do good to others being careful not to do any harm; do
unto others what you would have them do unto you and don't do unto others
what you would not have them do unto you.
The Greeks could see that
we could recognize actions as inherently lawful or unlawful, without the
need of the state to tell us; they had lived through some excellent examples
of lawless states. They came out with an answer quite amazing.
Aristotle believed each kind
of animal has a special nature. They all know or discover what they need
to do in order to lead the life that they are physically fitted to live.
Humans too are naturally capable of knowing how to live together and do
business with each other without killing each other.
The so-called 'Wild West'
which history shows was not nearly as wild as many modern cities with strict
gun control, existed beyond the reach of state power. People possessed
the right of property and businesses functioned. (Kopel, 323 -373)
Natural law follows from
the nature of men. We have the right to life, liberty and property, the
right to defend ourselves against those who would rob, enslave or kill
us. We have inalienable rights
from the creator.
Law derives from our right
to defend ourselves and our property, not from the power of the state.
Natural Law comes from each
person being intuitive enough to
sense the order in the universe that surrounds them.
Einstein
did not create general relativity, nor did Newton create the law of gravity,
nor does anyone create natural law. These things are discovered, then used
by mankind. It just is there, proven by its ability to affect those who
understand it and those being affected by it who may not understand it
yet. There are many natural laws universally applicable to all mankind.
Natural law was taught in
the great Universities of Oxford, Salamanca, Prague and Krakow and in many
other places. In England the theory of natural law led to the
Magna Carta, the Glorious Revolution, the declaration of right and
the English Enlightenment. It was the basis for the revolution in the U.S.A.
and the its bill of rights. It is everyone's right and duty to forcibly
uphold natural law, thus in order to get a law enforced or to get away
with enforcing it oneself, ones lawyer had to argue natural law, rather
than customary law. Thus the Netherlands came to be governed predominantly
by natural law, rather than by men or by customary law. From the right
to self defense comes the right to the rule of law, but from the right
to property comes a multitude of like rights, such as the right to privacy
"An Englishman's home is his castle." Further, Locke repeatedly, in ringing
words, reminded us that a ruler is legitimate so far as he upholds the
law.
A ruler that violates natural
law is illegitimate. He has no right to be obeyed, his commands are mere
force and coercion. Rulers who
act lawlessly, whose laws are unlawful, are mere criminals and should be
dealt with.
