geometry: a listing of the basic laws

[Muriel]

I am looking for a list of the basic laws of geometry. Can you provide me with that?,

Thank you,
Muriel

When I first learned geometry, many, many years ago, I had to learn (memorize) the basic therums. How can I get a list of those?

That's kind of broad. Define "basic" and try google.com if you already know the names of the laws you had in mind.

Abraham Lincoln thought the rendering of all theorems in Euclid's Elements was a worthwhile exercise. It's not too hard to find a copy.
