Not illustrated. 1910 edition. Excerpt: ...codes whose provisions were equally binding on all. The beginnings of formal law codes recognizing the individual as a responsible unit in society was a great step forward in the evolution of social institutions. 1 Ancient Law, pp. 121-122. 130 130 1 Ancient Law, p. 163. But even then men more or less lost their identity in the social order. Power in the form of external control, emanating from a superior source, regulated or limited the individual's field of action. Later on the church, for instance, took upon itself the right and duty of ordering his religious life until the movement for free thinking and personal liberty found expression in the Reformation, a movement which brought about the organization and dissemination of the great protestant faiths, and which in the earlier periods, as the name signifies, was a protest against highlydeveloped authoritative central control by an institution repressive of individual liberty in matters religious. Though it can hardly be said that this protestant movement completely realized in itself the ideal of religious liberty and toleration, yet it paved the way for reformations to follow down to the present time and for increasing religious freedom.2 It should be remembered, also, that the great protestant movements for religious freedom followed those of the preceding intellectual renaissance when intellectual freedom was fighting for life, not only theoretically but also literally. In fact, the Reformation was chiefly induced by the revival of learning of the Renaissance during which time the individual began to move out of the intellectual gloom which so long had enshrouded him. 2 For later developments of religious freedom cf. Lecky, Democracy and Liberty, ch. vi, pp. 509-529 (especially)
