We find allusions to the mode of... acquiring property, but we find no allusion, from the earliest time, to any supposed act of the governing power giving obligation to contracts ; and hence we may infer, that the doctrine in question is coeval with the existence of society, and, although it may be con- trolled, was not expressly given by human legislation (/). Obligatio, as we read in the Institutes of Justinian (g), est juris vinculum quo necessitate astringimur alicujus rei solvendoB secundum, nostrce civitatis jura.
