\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cA code is not only a collection of the existing statutory law, but also of much of the unwritten law on any subject, and is composed partly of such materials as might be at hand from all sources \u2014 from statutes, cases, and from customs \u2014 supplemented by such amendments, alterations, and additions as are deemed by the codifiers necessary to harmonize and perfect the existing system. In fact, in making a code, new laws may be added and old laws <\/span><\/span><\/strong>repealed in order to constitute a complete system.<\/span>\u201d<\/strong> [4]
