The Commentaries are considered as the leading work on the development of English law and also they played a great role in the development of the American legal system.

The work is as much an apologia for the legal system of the time as it is an explanation; even when the law was obscure, Blackstone sought to make it seem rational, just, and inevitable that things should be how they were.
