Common people's or kings'?
Should "common people's or kings'" be "common people or kings"?
Background info:
It should be made clear that looking into history is for better understanding reality, not otherwise as to complicate it.
Private property rights, including the right of real estate, are sacred/divine and inviolable, regardless of common people's or kings'. Just take a look at the Castle Law of the United States and you will understand what is a divine right.
