Law grows with growth, strengthens with the strength of people and finally dies away as a nation loses its nationality

Savigny the main founder of German historical school, has given this famous statement. He said that law grows with the growth of people, strengthens with the strength of people and finally dies away as the nation loses its nationality.

According to Savigny, "Custom is essentially a product of natural forces associated with popular spirit of acceptance by the people. When people repeat the same action again and again, it assumes the form of 'habit' and when habit continues to be in practice for a long time, it becomes custom."
