U.S. Law refers to the legal system in the United States, which is based on the Constitution, statutes, regulations, and case law. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land, establishing the framework for government and protecting individual rights. Laws are created by legislative bodies, such as Congress and state legislatures, and are enforced by the executive branch. The U.S. legal system is divided into federal and state laws. Federal laws apply nationwide, while state laws vary by state. Courts interpret and apply these laws, with the Supreme Court being the highest court in the country, ensuring uniformity and justice across the nation.
