In spite of development of firearms since XVI century, the duel as an ancestral western method to resolve conflicts, stayed unaltered until very recent years (early XX century), with fencing and boxing till death as a “non plus ultra” example of eugenics in justice and law enforcement.

Since the firearms “democratised” war as equalizers between highly skilled and strong knights vrs vulgar peasants who could easily kill them on those conditions, the art of fencing was indeed used as a procedure for summary (instantaneous) trials between getlements where skills, strength and honor were the values to determine reason through fair, regulated and witnessed exercise of violence to reivindicate rights inter pairs (gentlemen only) in an unnappealable way for the loser.

Legally backed Dueling was indeed a great guarantee of justice: it repealed a lot of conflicts rather than fomenting them just by the consequences -transaction costs of self defense of rights were very low- of lying, slander and defamation, severely punished with virtual death penalty thanks to the institution of dueling. Economically powerful but morally indecent individuals could be faced fairly by a man with the truth, physical strength and courage on his side, regardless of artificial laws to foment pillage and corruption between pairs. Banning duels, true justice was taken from free men, enslaving them to the tyranny of corruptible judges.

Once dueling was banned from western civilization, prevarication became the new justice.

A DUEL WAS REAL AND VINDICATIVE JUSTICE.
