Legal history studies how legal systems change over time, the relationship between

those changes and economic, cultural, and political forces, and how societies respond
to changes in the law. The list of topics available for study across geographic areas and
time periods is virtually endless and includes church/state relations, constitution making
and government structure, citizenship and immigration, human rights, families and
social institutions, crime and criminal justice, the development of market culture and
economic institutions, and war making.
