quadragesimals

Read a random definition: independent probate

A quick definition of quadragesimals:

Quadragesimals: A long time ago, daughter churches used to give special gifts to their mother church on Mid-Lent Sunday. These gifts were called quadragesimals.

Quadriennium: A long time ago in Rome, law students had to study for four years before they could study the Code or collection of imperial laws.

Quadriennium Utile: In Scotland, when a young person becomes an adult, they have four years to cancel any contracts they made when they were still a minor.

A more thorough explanation:

Quadragesimals are offerings made by daughter churches to the mother church on Mid-Lent Sunday. The name comes from the Latin word "quadragesima," which means "the fortieth."

For example, a small church might give a portion of their tithes and offerings to the larger church that oversees them on Mid-Lent Sunday as a sign of unity and support.

Quadriennium is a term from Roman law that refers to the four-year course of study required of law students before they were qualified to study the Code or collection of imperial constitutions.

For example, a law student in ancient Rome would have to complete a quadriennium of study before they could move on to more advanced legal studies.

Quadriennium utile is a term from Scots law that refers to a four-year period after the attainment of majority within which the young adult may seek to annul any contract made while the person was a minor.

For example, if a person in Scotland signed a contract when they were 17 years old, they would have four years after turning 18 to seek to have the contract annulled if they felt they were taken advantage of due to their age.

@texaslawhopefully: Not necessarily but I believe what Aristotle used to say. He used to say you could not have a functioning political system if you can not get gender relations right. Or essentially that.
KS does negotiate! I got an email saying theyre doing it for the first time this year
its rather limited but its not nothing

@HopefullyInLawSchool: noted, thanks for the intel. I know we joke around but all things conidered, KS is goated

@BigStrongBug: Nah aristotle only applies gender as a role which I think either sex could fulfill. My issue with Trump's EO to limit things to only sex but I am fine with him doing it for now.
Yeah and Aristotle old as hell boy he would’ve died of hysteria after learning what the internet and tiktok is

@SplitterusClitterus: I think some school shootings could have been prevented if gender relations were better.

@SplitterusClitterus: Well, I would say almost every one of them. Either due to more stable households, community connections or even better treatment of those going through divorced and whatnot. Almost every shooter has at least one of these elements included with their reasons for killing.

@Dkk: No. Aristotle said the family was the fundamental political unit, which is different than what you're saying. But, more to the point, the American political system exists vis-a-vis to 17/18th century political thought, or classical liberalism. Of which the central assumption is that the highest end is social choice.

@Dkk: Yes, and he never said what you said he said. The closest he gets to that is that the family is the fundamental political unit.
