As I look forward to seeing your source for claiming the common law was "made up".

It was made up by courts. In property and contract law, we still refer to some English cases. The statutes have either incorporated such concepts, or remained silent. In some situations, statutes have clearly reversed the common law, such as in absolute legal tort liability, in certain situations. A finding of negligence for example, per the statutes, is no longer necessary, in some factual patterns.

I don't need one. Anyone who has taken a first year torts class knows it was made up by juges starting in England.
