1: where laws in the past the same as they are today? 2: why is a person accused of crime considered innocent until proven guilty? should the same standards apply in a civil case? why ao why not

1) Not many laws are the same as they were in the past, however some laws hold similar meanings or precautions.

2) A person accused of crime is considered innocent until evidence is found proving they are guilty because if the accuser had made a mistake an innocent person may have gone to prison. (The rest is a matter of opinion and debate.)
