✅ Answer:
A comprehensive written code of laws, Concept of legal precedents
💡 Explanation:
- The Roman Justinian Code was one of the earliest comprehensive written codes of laws, which influenced the American legal system by providing a structured legal framework.
- It also introduced the concept of legal precedents, where past decisions influence future legal rulings.
- However, the ideas of trial by a jury of peers, emphasis on individual rights, and separation of powers are more modern developments not directly rooted in the Justinian Code.
