Objects, subjects, and types of possessory interests in
property Property law has been defined in this article as
the sum of jural relationships with respect to things and
things as all tangible things and those intangibles that the
legal system in question classifies as property. This
definition creates difficulties when one comes to describe
property systems generally because it mixes a definition of
things that is external?

In law, the acquisition of either a considerable degree of
physical control over a physical thing, such as land or
chattel, or the legal right to control intangible property,
such as a credit?with the definite intention of ownership .
With respect to land and chattel, possession may well have

[...] What can be property? Not everything can be property;
only those things which others can economically be excluded
from can be considered property. Thus the air and the water
in the sea belong to no one; though once stored in bottles
or tanks, they can be considered property. Traditionally
many things existed that did not legally have an owner, such
as commons (land belonging to nobody in particular, but over
which commoners had rights). But over centuries and
millennia law in all societies has tended to develop towards
reducing the number of things not having clear owners. This
enables better protection of scarce resources, due to the
tragedy of the commons. But there are many things today
which still do not have owners: ideas, seawater, the
seafloor (though due to the United Nations Convention on the
Law of the Sea, some of it can now be considered in some
ways property), celestial bodies, land in Antarctica. The
human body is, in modern societies, considered something
which cannot be the property of anyone but the person whose
body it is. This is in contradistinction to the old practice
in many societies of chattel slavery, which is almost
universally considered unjust and illegal today. In many
ancient legal systems (e.g. early Roman law), religious
sites (e.g. temples) were considered property of the God or
Gods they were devoted to. However, religious pluralism
makes it more convenient to have religious sites owned by
the religious body that runs them. [...]
