English term or phrase: trials by ordeal
The idea of formulated “rights” comes from Western civilization. Specifically, it comes not from John Locke and Thomas Jefferson—as many might assume—but from the canon law of the Catholic Church. Other important legal principles associated with Western civilization can also be traced back to the Church’s influence, as churchmen sought to introduce rational trial procedures and sophisticated legal concepts in place of the ***superstition-based trials by ordeal*** that had characterized the Germanic legal order.
