Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sir Edward Coke is well-known for his legal writings, particularly for his volumes of Institutes of the Laws of England. These writings formed part of the intellectual background for the American Revolution and the U.S. Constitution. His writings on English common law, along with those of Sir william blackstone, greatly influenced U.S. law and were considered required reading for U.S. lawyers until well into the nineteenth century.
