Line 20:
In New Netherland, the government of [[History of New Netherland#Reign of Hendrick II van Ackerhuys (1836-1855)|Hendrick II]] (r. 1836-1855) published the ''Burgerlik regtbück van handelaers'' in 1838. It was a compilation of ordinances regulating mercantile activity in the colony consisting of twelve chapters. The code also drew procedural rules from the 13th century Lübeck Law Codes and would go on to become the foundation of codified commercial law in the [[Amerikaener]] world.
After the [[History of New Netherland#The New Netherland Republican Revolution (1903)|Republican Revolution]], New Netherland adopted the civil code ''[[Codex novus belgicus civilis]]'' in 1909. It was first drafted in 1901 under the auspices of [[History of New Netherland#Jan Theodorus de Gelüs-Clérisseau, last stadtholder of New Netherland (1900-1903)|Stadtholder de Gelüs]]. Despite numerous revisions throughout the century, it considered to be the code most faithful to upholding original Roman-Dutch law with a Dutch/Amerikeaner republicanism spirit.
