Maine, Sir Henry James Sumner
- Maine, Sir Henry James Sumner
(1822-88)
Sir Henry Maine was a pioneer of comparative jurisprudence. Like Lewis Henry
Morgan , he was convinced that the legal basis of ‘primitive societies’ lay in ties of blood and
kinship . In his two best-known works,
Ancient Law (1861) and
Popular Government (1885), he argued for the
evolutionist proposition that the history of human societies showed a progressive move from societies based on
status ascribed through kin ties to advanced politics based on legally binding agreements (or ‘contract’). See also
tribe.
