DISCUSSION: If you read lines 1-6, you’ll see that the author thinks medievalists make a simplistic distinction between public and private law.
___________
- The medievalists don’t even mention landowners, or changes in law.
- Widows owed their wealth and influence to private law. So the author would argue the opposite. Private law was more powerful than the medievalists thought.
- The medievalists don’t mention how much wealth women had.
- This hits on the right distinction, but neither the medievalists nor the author mention specific legal cases.
- CORRECT. This is it. The medievalists ignored that a widow could wield public influence if private law let her acquire wealth.
