King Henry II of England had his circuit judges get together and discuss their decisions. They figured that when they decided the cases the same way they had discovered the law common to the realm. They wrote down that law and used it as the basis for other decisions. The house of Lords made difficult decisions. If someone did not like something about common law, he could appeal it to the House of Lords. The House of Lords became the Court of Appeals.
Common Law developed as judges discussed real court cases. It developed as court cases were appealed to the House of Lords.
In 1776, changes in English Common Law ceased affecting the Common Law in the United States. Since then the Common Law has varied in each state. Common Law has been modified by statutory law passed by the legislatures.
Still, much is similar between states. Human nature has not changed and most of the original common law dealt with human nature. Uniform codes have been proposed and most legislatures adopt them making laws the same in a number of states.
French law is based on Roman Law. It comes from legislation. Each judge basis his decision on the legislation and not on a higher court's interpretation. Thus two judges can come to totally different conclusions on the same information.

There is no such thing as "enforceable" common-law. Common law evolved long ago into statute law and it is the provisions of statute law with which courts must contend with today. Statute law (especially in the English-speaking countries of the world) is based on common law but no such 'common law' survives today which is not codified and set forth in statute law. Common law is NOT legally enforceable.

Why do you think common law predated statute law in the English sys- tem of law?
Common law predates statute law in the English legal system because it evolved gradually through judicial decisions rather than through legislative enactments. It was initially based on customs and traditions established by judges over time. Statute law was introduced later to codify and supplement common law, but common law principles still form the basis of the legal system.
