……术语的定义。哪些财产权属于人权？显然，组建有限责任公司的权利并不属于人权。我想你可能会对 William Blackstone 的《Commentaries on the Laws of England》[1] 感兴趣。美国的财产法全部继承自英国普通法（common law）。读起来挺费劲，但非常引人入胜。会让你思考诸如“什么是财产？”“是什么让某物归你所有？”这类问题。另一个……
…definition of terms. Which property rights are human rights? Certainly, the right to a limited liability corporate form is not a human right. I think you might be interested in William Blackstone's "Commentaries on the Laws of England" [1]. The US inherited all its property laws from British common law. It's a tough read, but it is fascinating. Makes you ask questions like "what is property?" What makes something yours? Another…
今天我才知道（TIL）：公司能构成犯罪这个观念其实非常新。[1] 犯罪的是人，而不是公司。[1] William Blackstone，《Commentaries on the Laws of England》第 464 页（1765年）（“法人不能以其法人身份犯下叛国罪、重罪或其他罪行，尽管其成员可以各自以独立个人身份犯罪。”）
Today I learned: the idea that a corporation can commit a crime is a very new one. [1] People commit crimes, not companies. [1] William Blackstone, Commentaries on the Laws of England 464 (1765) (“A corporation cannot commit treason or felony or other crime in its corporate capacity though it’s members may in their distinct individual capacities.”)
ex post facto 不是英语，甚至也不算真正的拉丁语。它是个法律术语。19 世纪末英美法系法律术语的权威出处就是 Blackstone 的《Commentaries on the Laws of England》。法院采纳的正是 Blackstone 的定义。
ex post facto isn't English, it's not even really Latin. It's a legalism. The go to source of meaning for Anglo legalism in the late 19th century was Blackstone's "Commentaries on the Laws of England" . It's the Blackstone definition that the Court adopted.
……人民持有和携带武器的权利一旦以任何名义或借口遭到剥夺，自由即使尚未化为乌有，也已濒临毁灭。”——St. George Tucker，《Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England》，1803年。“上下文线索”（Context clues）是阅读理解的关键部分。当一个词或短语的含义不明确时，其周围的文字可以用作线索来推断其……
…right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any color or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction." - St. George Tucker, Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England, 1803 "Context clues" are a critical part of reading comprehension. When the meaning of a word or phrase is unclear, the other writing surrounding the word or phrase can be used as a clue as to what…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackstones_formulation “宁可漏网十个罪犯，不可冤枉一个无辜”，……正如英国法学家 William Blackstone 在其 1760 年代出版的开创性著作《Commentaries on the Laws of England》中所表述的那样。值得注意的是，具体数字通常并不被认为有多重要，更核心的理念是国家不应该“以防万一”而造成不当或错误的伤害。从历史上看，……
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackstones_formulation "It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer", ...as expressed by the English jurist William Blackstone in his seminal work, Commentaries on the Laws of England, published in the 1760s. It is worth note that the actual numbers are not generally seen as important, so much as the idea that the State should not cause undue or mistaken harm "just in case". Historically,…
……http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/intel/98-326.pdf 我去 ping 一下我朋友，看他能不能补充点内情，但这跟电话窃听（wiretaps）有关，和普通的偷听窃听（eavesdropping）略有不同。[1] 4 BLACKSTONE, COMMENTARIES ON THE LAWS OF ENGLAND, 169 (1769). [2] 1 BISHOP, COMMENTARIES ON THE CRIMINAL LAW, 670 (1882).”
…http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/intel/98-326.pdf I'll ping my buddy to see if he can shed a little more light, but this is related to wiretaps, which is slightly different from eavesdropping.
