纵观世界法治发展历程,法国民法典开启了人类法治时代的新阶段。作为世界第一部成文民法典也是19世纪资本主义早期民法典的代表,其以先进的思想和立法成果对近代各国民法的发展有着深远的影响。它提出了自由、平等、人权、民主和法治思想,并确立了契约自由、私有财产神圣不可侵犯、过错责任三大民法根本原则。 Throughout the history of the development of the rule of law in the world, the French civil code has opened a new phase in the era of human rule of law. As the first written civil code in the world, it is also the representative of the early 19th century capitalist civil code. Its advanced thinking and legislative achievements have far-reaching influence on the development of civil law in various countries in modern times. It put forward the ideas of freedom, equality, human rights, democracy and the rule of law and established the fundamental principles of the three civil laws of freedom of contract, sacred inviolability of private property and fault liability.
