Sir Henry James Sumner Maine was an English comparative jurist and historian. His thesis in Ancient Law states that law and society developed "from status to contract". In ancient times people were bound by status to their particular group. In modern times people are autonomous agents and are free to make contracts. They can make associations with whomever they want.
