 Laws
established by the legislature. Laws dictate how we as a society act
in concert to protective ourselves, our families, business and civil
rights. There are two forms of laws criminal and civil (common).
Another form of law is international law which controls how nations
interact with one another.
Constitutional Laws:
"constitutional
law,
the body of rules, doctrines, and practices that govern the operation of
political communities.
In modern times the most important political community has
been the state.
Modern constitutional law
is the offspring of nationalism as
well as of the idea that the state must protect certain fundamental
rights of the individual. As the number of states has multiplied, so
have constitutions
and with them the body of constitutional law,
though sometimes such law originates from sources outside the state. The
protection of individual rights, meanwhile, has become the concern of
supranational institutions, particularly since the mid-20th century.".
