In this text we elaborate on the modern viewpoint of the quadratic reciprocity law via methods of alge- braic number theory and class field theory. We present original short and simple proofs of so called addi- tional quadratic reciprocity laws and of the multiplicativity of the Legendre symbol using decompositon groups of primes in quadratic and cyclotomic extensions of Q.
