What is Law of the United States
The law of the USA has a lot of parts of uncodified or codified types of law, of any the mostly important is the USA Constitution, the foundation of the federal gov of the USA.
The Constitution gives the scope the federal law, some consists of Congress acts, treaties accepted by the Senate, regulations recognized by the executive branch, and case law originating from the federal law.
The USA Code (USC) is the general collection or codification of general & permanent federal statutory law.
Federal law or treaties, so long as they are in accordance with the Constitution, preempt troubling state and local laws in the all states and in the areas.
However, the scope of federal preemption is limited because the part of federal power is individual.
In the dual-sovereign system of federalism in America (actually tripartite because of the presence of Indian reservations), states are the plenary sovereigns, wich with theirs own constitution, while the federal sovereign possesses only the limited supreme authority enumerated in the Constitution.
States may gives theirs peoples broader rights than the federal Constitution as long as they do not infringe in all federal constitutional opportunities.
Thus, big part United States of America law (especially the actual "live law" of contracts, torts, properties, criminals, or family law has experience by the big part of citizens on a day-to-day basis) consists from primarily of state law, any can and does vary greatly from one state to the next.
In both the federal & state levels, the law of the U.S.A is vastly derived from the general legals system of United Kingdom law, which was in force at the time of the U.S. Revolution.
However, USA legals system has diverged greatly from its English parent both in terms of substance or procedures, & contains incorporated a number of national legals innovations.
