This is a collection of regulations, edicts, declarations, and decrees concerning trade, the administration of justice, and the policing of the French colonies in America, as well as the treatment of indentured servants.

The presence of the "Code Noir", which regulated the treatment of enslaved Africans, underscores the complex and often brutal realities of colonial life.
