So go to the sixth link on the page. It reprints all of the reception statutes.

Here is Virginia’s, for instance, in relevant part:

“And be it further ordained, That the common law of England . . . shall be the rule of decision, and shall be considered as in full force.”

Every single state, save Louisiana, follows the common law.
