The colonial legal systems in many states began to evolve long before there was a United States and still affect modern laws in many cases. For example, the legal rights of women varied in different regions in the colonies as did their rights of inheritance. The Puritans affected the legal codes in New England and interjected a religious element to law codes. The Southern colonies were populated by younger sons of the English aristocracy and in some areas followed English law more closely. The various state codes evolved from people with different backgrounds, different philosophies, different ideas, different perspectives and different goals. Some states were influenced by Spanish law and a major feature was the adoption of the principle ofcommunity property. The early laws of Louisiana are based on Napoleonic law which was based on Roman law.

The absence of a federal judiciary meant that there was limited consistency in how crimes were handled across state lines.
