What is Law and Legals system
What is Law of the United States
The law of the United States has many parts of uncodified & codified forms the law, of some the mostly important is the USA Constitution, the base of the federal gov of the USA.
The Constitution gives the opportunities of federal law, some consists of acts of Congress, treaties accepted by the Senate, rules recognized by the executive division, and case law originating from the federal judiciary.
The United States of America Code (USC) is the general collection & codification of permanent & general federal statutory law.
Federal law or treaties, so long as they are in accordance with the Constitution, preempt conflicting state and territorial laws in the 50 U.S. states and in the territories.
However, the boundaries of federal preemption has limits because the scope of federal authority is not universal.
In the dual-sovereign mechanism 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 procedures only the limited supreme authority enumerated in the Constitution.
Indeed, states may gives theirs peoples broader rights than the federal Constitution as long as they don`t infringe on any federal constitutional legals.
Thus, majority US law (exclusively the actual "living law" of contracts, torts, properties, criminals, or family law experienced by the big part of citizens on a day-to-day basis) include primarily of state law, which granted vary greatly from one state to the next.
At both the federal and state levels, the law of the USA is vastly extended from the general law system of English law, which was in force at the time of the U.S. Revolutionary War.
But, American legals system has diverged much from its English parent both in terms of substance or procedures, and contains incorporated a number of civil legals innovations.
