In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed... No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people. Preface to 1828 Dictionary

MUNIC'IPAL, a. [L.municipalis, from municeps, a person who enjoys the rights of a free citizen; munus, office, duty, and capio, to take.]
Municipal, as used by the Romans, originally designated that which pertained to a municipium, a free city or town. It still retains this limited sense; but we have extended it to what belongs to a state or nation, as a distinct, independent body. Municipal law or regulation respects solely the citizens of a state, and is thus distinguished from commercial law, political law, and the law of nations.
Of or pertaining to a city or a corporation having the right of
administering local government; as, municipal rights;
municipal officers.
Of or pertaining to a state, kingdom, or
nation.
Municipal law is properly defined to be a rule of civil conduct prescribed by the supreme power in a state. Blackstone. | ||||||||
