American Common Law

Before statutes ruled. Before agencies controlled. Before the jury was silenced. The real law of this land didn't come from Washington-it came from the people.

In American Common Law: The People's Law Before the Republic Fell, constitutional scholar-warrior RJ Salerno traces the forgotten heritage of liberty: from the "law of the land" in the Magna Carta, through English Common Law, the colonial courts, and into the U.S. Republic's founding era. He shows how courts of record, jury trials, and ancient customs once formed the bedrock of our freedoms.

Then he reveals how that bedrock cracked: legislatures supplanted common law with statutes; judges replaced juries with interpretations; agencies embraced the mantle of "law" under the color of law. The result? The people's law was traded for regulations, codes, and administrative rule.

Now, Salerno offers a bold path forward: reclaiming courts of record, reviving jury independence, and invoking the unalienable rights common law once protected.

If you're serious about understanding how America lost its legal foundation-and how you can help restore it-this book is your roadmap.
