One of the effort was to order in legal way all social relations. In the frame of newmade legal arrangment there were two criminal codes : The Act of Archpriest Mateja of 1804. and the Karadjordje’s Criminal Act of 1807., which are partly preserved and still, by them, the circumstances and the relations in that Serbia can be understood till today.
