The Double jeopardy law originated in The ancient civilizations relied on the blood dispute to provide justice when one person killed another, the relatives of a dead person had a duty to avenge death. While the blood feud manifested harsh "retributive" justice, it could, in theory, lead to an endless series of murders as each death was avenged.

As ideologies in a society change, so too does the law follow, as witnessed by the legal actions prompted by women’s suffrage, the civil rights movement, and a vast range of other social and political issues.
