When France published the drafting of customary law in the sixteenth century, and later the Codes and Great Ordinances in the seventeenth century, it immediately formed a basis for royal intervention in the judicial process. This freely allowed the king arret de reglement at will. These Codes and Great Ordinances were meant to unify and centralize judicial institutions. This was the second institution common to every state in an autocratic system.
