Sir Henry James Sumner Maine, KCSI (1822-1888), was an English comparative jurist and historian best know for his thesis in Ancient Law that law and society developed "from status to contract." In the ancient world, individuals were tightly bound by status to traditional groups; but in the modern world, individuals are free to make contracts and form associations with whomever they choose.
