Can someone translate this Latin for me, please?

My naff translations. Some of the words might have a specialised meaning in law, though.

1) What pleases the leader should have vigour.
2) A rule is what explains a thing and is brief. A law should not be taken from a law, but what is a rule should be made from a law.

Thank you so much! That makes a lot more sense than what Google gave me

Yeah, Google's Latin skills are not great, since it's based on statistical analysis, and it doesn't have much to work with (try translating 'quid pro quo'). Hope it helps with whatever work you need to do.

Hahahaha. Brilliant! What's the proper translation?

And yes, that's been very helpful; thank you

I have a couple of Latin phrases that I've been told to 'translate and discuss' (I do Law)...I've tried sticking them in Google translate but the results seemed a little nonsensical.

The phrases are:
1) Quod principi placuit legis vigorem habet

2) Regula est quae rem quae est breviter enarrat. non ex regula ius sumatur, sed ex iure quod est regula fiat


I will be very grateful if anyone can tell me what these phrases mean! Plus rep for those who help


(PS. Sorry if this is in the wrong place, mods..it seemed the most appropriate place)

Aaaah Roman Law

The first is from Justinian's Institutes, and it means "that which seems good to the Emperor has the force of law". I don't know how you study the subject but if you compare the treatment in Gaius' Institutes that should give you a few ideas for discussion

I love Roman law so don't hesitate to let me know if you have any more questions

Thank you! And I will probably take you up on that offer
