The correct answer is A.

The most important influence on the American Legal system is English Common law.

Common Law allows for judges to use broad doctrines to interpret facts and make decisions in cases.

The alternative is for there to be a written law on everything.

In the United States, Louisiana is the only state that uses an alternative system due to its French influence.
