What does this passage imply about the importance of
laws within individual states?
every community governed by laws and customs uses
partly its own law, partly laws common to all mankind.
the law which a people makes for its own government
belongs exclusively to that but the law which
natural reason appoints for all mankind obtains equally
among all nations, because all nations make use of it.
for laws to be just, they must be common to all
humankind
laws reflect the customs of each state and
common laws of mankind
all laws should be made available to other nations
so that they can make use of them
natural reason is the only source of all laws for all
people

“laws reflect The customs of each state and common laws of mankind”

Explanation: “but the law which reflects natural reason appoints for all mankind.”

pepin the short[a] (german: pippin der kurze, french: pépin le bref, c. 714 – 24 september 768) was the king of the franks from 751 until his death. he was the first of the carolingians to become king.[b][2]

the younger son of the frankish prince charles martel and his wife rotrude, pepin's upbringing was distinguished by the ecclesiastical education he had received from the monks of st. denis. succeeding his father as the mayor of the palace in 741, pepin reigned over francia jointly with his elder brother carloman. pepin ruled in neustria, burgundy, and provence, while his brother carloman established himself in austrasia, alemannia and thuringia. the brothers were active in suppressing revolts led by the bavarians, aquitanians, saxons, and the alemanni in the early years of their reign. in 743, they ended the frankish interregnum by choosing childeric iii, who was to be the last merovingian monarch, as figurehead king of the franks.
