Every individual in our country lives under three forms of government - national, state, and local; and his rights and duties as a member of each are defined by constitution, by statute and by common law. 2. Besides the laws defining the legal relations which exist between government and its members are other laws defining the legal relations between the people themselves. These laws are very numerous and in many respects touch the people more closely than the laws defining their public relations.
