On the other hand, we should observe that laws are by no means fixed principles that are deprived of any emendation. History is filled with examples that laws changed over different circumstances, time and places. Take the right of inheritance as an example;heirs were confined to the eldest sons that were later revised to include other sons and daughters as well. This is a remarkable social advance since this manifest that women began to be bestowed with the equal right of receive from an ancestor by legal succession or will. What is more, in the field of criminal law,there used to exist a practice of implication, which demonstrate that not only an individual criminal should take account for his own wrongdoing, but also his relatives or even neighborhood will be passively implicated in the lawsuit or punishment. Today,this practice has been reversed to assert that criminal himself should be solely responsible for his misdeed and nobody, no matter how close they are, without participating into his act by any means, should be exonerate of any indictment. We should still remember that once in a while, there are a way of judgment called ordeal judgment which means that the most prestigious elders in a village use some superstition to judge whether a person is guilt or not. With the time goes by, we gradually realize the absurdity and irrationality involved in this kind of law and the result is, this practice become obsolete and nobody believe that it will transfer judgment, fairness from supernatural power. We would see clearly that each step that moves forward in law is a vivid reflection of how a society progresses and marches. We are aiming at justice, equality and fairness that best characterize any laws which would hardly achieved without amending their content according to the changed social background and peoples ideology.
