Historian F. W. Maitland observed that legal documents are the best—indeed, often the only—available evidence about the economic and social history of a given period. Why, then, has it taken so long for historians to focus systematically on the civil (noncriminal) law of early modern (sixteenth- to eighteenth-century) England? Maitland offered one reason: the subject requires researchers to “master an extremely formal system of pleading and procedure.” Yet the complexities that confront those who would study such materials are not wholly different from those recently surmounted by historians of criminal law in England during the same period. Another possible explanation for historians’ neglect of the subject is their
widespread assumption
that most people in early modern England had little contact with civil law. If that were so, the history of legal matters would be of little relevance to general historical scholarship. But recent research suggests that civil litigation during the period involved artisans, merchants, professionals, shopkeepers, and farmers, and not merely a narrow, propertied, male elite. Moreover, the later sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries saw an extraordinary explosion in civil litigation by both women and men, making this the most litigious era in English history on a per capita basis.
The author of the passage mentions the occupations of those involved in civil litigation in early modern England most likely in order to
选项
A、suggest that most historians’ assumptions about the participants in the civil legal system during that period are probably correct
B、support the theory that more people participated in the civil legal system than the criminal legal system in England during that period
C、counter the claim that legal issues reveal more about a country’s ordinary citizens than about its elite
D、illustrate the wide range of people who used the civil legal system in England during that period
E、suggest that recent data on people who participated in early modern England’s legal system may not be correct
答案
D
解析
本题是功能题,答案就是定位句3s版本。本题定位到第七句,3s版本就是参与民法的人多,因此选项D正确。A项表述相反,assumptions指参与民法的人少,而本句的目的是用来说明参与民法的人多。B项刑法属于定位错误,本文没有提及参与民法和刑法的人数对比。C项本文没有提及精英和普通公民之间的对比。E项定位句本身就相当于“数据”,不可能认为自己是不正确的。
