US Law

U.S. law is a system of rules that governs the country, created by federal, state, and local governments. It consists of statutes (laws enacted by legislatures), regulations (rules made by government agencies), and case law (court decisions that interpret laws). The Constitution is the supreme law, ensuring rights and liberties. Courts resolve disputes by interpreting laws, while the judicial system includes various levels, from local courts to the Supreme Court. Citizens have rights and responsibilities under the law and can seek justice through legal processes, making the system foundational to democracy and social order.
