And not only that, but it is also the one that involves the most exhaustive studies: history, theory, politics, education, penal codes, constitutional systems, theology, physics, medicine, etc. It is the oldest attempt that has come down to us to organize the legal system according to rational principles. In this second volume of the work, books VII-XII are collected, in which the norms that will regulate the education of youth, religious worship and the economy are established, a penal code and a civil and commercial code are proposed, State administration and describes its monetary system.
