How did the patent system encourage inventiveness

Hey There Flo,

How did the patent system encourage inventiveness?

 Patents give the inventor or patent holder rights to profit off of their creations. If no patent system were in place, there would be less incentive for inventors to invest time and money in research and development. Inventors don't want to invest a lot of their resources to invent something that someone else can profit from. So a system of patents allows people to profit off of their innovations without having to worry about someone else stealing their ideas.

The common sense pamphlet i think

Assemblies do not have written codes of laws. laws are matters for magistrates and courts, not assemblies. codes of law are things such as civil law, criminal law, and constitutional law. what assemblies have are procedures regarding debating, voting and other business they might carry out.  also note that rome had three assemblies: the assembly of the soldiers, the assembly of the tribes, and the plebeian councils.
