Legal Systems
In his comparative study of European legal systems, American attorney Newton Minow concluded:
- In Germany, under the law everything is prohibited except that which is permitted.
- In France, under the law everything is permitted except that which is prohibited.
- In the Soviet Union, everything is prohibited including that which is permitted.
- And in Italy, under the law everything is permitted, especially that which is prohibited.
