Federal laws

Federal laws are rules created by the national government of the United States, applicable across all 50 states. They cover important areas like criminal justice, commerce, civil rights, and environmental protection. When Congress passes a law, it guides how the country operates, and all states must follow these rules. Federal laws ensure consistency nationwide, protect individual rights, and address issues that cross state boundaries. They are enforced by federal agencies and interpreted by courts, helping maintain order, fairness, and safety in the country.
