The doctrine of right in the Metaphysics of Morals (1797) is a public juridical treatise, split from the capital-punishment heading

In 1797 the doctrine of right in the Metaphysics of Morals is issued as a public juridical treatise. Immanuel Kant's documented role is: He published a doctrine of right with property, contract, and republican headings. In the causal graph this event weakens Judicial independence erosion (court capture), a driver that strengthens Rule of Law Gap from the Highest Governance Score — an improving welfare path.

Read the full account

In 1797 the doctrine of right in the Metaphysics of Morals is issued as a public juridical treatise. Immanuel Kant's documented role is: He published a doctrine of right with property, contract, and republican headings. The punishment heading is the cost twin.

Context

The punishment row is the cost twin in the same book. Sharing that split is required. Driver justice-judicial-independence-erosion is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.

Why it matters

The welfare reading on this path is improving.

Naming Immanuel Kant does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1797-06-01 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.
