Statutory Laws are a newer addition to our modern government, being laws passed by congress. Statutory laws cause courts to be bound into the law's expressed terms, making them unable to read between the lines. Allowing them to be fairer as they cannot liberalize their application, strictly confiding them to the terms to prohibit any unfair/bias applications of the law. Which prevents any unjust judgments to be pronounced, allowing the defendant to have a balanced trial.

How might Blackstone's views have  influenced the colonists at the time of the American Revolution?
Blackstone worked for Parliament and strongly supported the crown and he would strongly criticize the Colonies for their disloyalty to the crown. He finished the commentaries which served to defeat British Sovereignty. He didn't realize that his mission to control English common law would fuel Americans' desire for independence from the crown.

What was the significance of the second excerpt from Blackstone on page 148? How does it compare with the second excerpt from the Code of Justinian earlier in this chapter?
The significance of the excerpt from Blackstone is that Blackstone was arguing that the role of the government was to principally protect and enforce the natural rights of individuals. This equates or compares to the second excerpt from the Code of Justinian because if one person accused another in the Byzantine Empire, they would need to bring public documents, (civil and criminal), to be examined in order to ascertain the truth. This protects individual rights by getting a chance to an examination or trial once a person was an accused.

Common Laws impacted our government greatly, being on the modern side of changes. Common Laws's precedence caused the courts to be more fair and just, allowing them to base their decisions on prior court pronouncements. This allows the courts to be based off of precedents if it cannot be decided on statues, allowing the process to be more fair as the decision would not be solely based on the judge's/jury's judgments when existing statues won't determine it.

*A law created by proir court decisions
"Common law is generally uncodified. This means that there is no comprehensive compilation of legal rules and statutes.While common law does rely on some scattered statutes, which are legislative decisions, it is largely based on precedent, meaning the judicial decisions that have already been made in similar cases."
