I could be wrong, but I'm not sure if it translates to english here. I would say it's a way to present the negation with the form "ne/n' ... aucune"

[opal bolt]

It references the word "droit".

Le droit de conquête n'a pu fonder aucun autre droit.

There is no need to repeat the word "droit" again, but it has to be referenced by a pronoun.

If I was to attempt translating, I would say "in the first case, the right of conquest not being one could not found any other"

In english, it is already understood that you're talking about "the right of conquest" as the subject

J'éssayais de la traduire en anglais comme ça:

'That in the first case, the right of conquest not being a right could not be found anywhere else...'

fonder is "to found"as in "bringing to existence"

[bronze horizon]

En doesn't refer to a place here, it refers to the word that follows either an indefinite article/adjective or a number. "Aucun" fits the bill, so the word "droit" gets replaced by "en".
