Sorry, your answer is incorrect. Review the steps below to find the right answer.

Common law is a legal system that derives most of its principles from judicial decisions and adherence to those prior decisions in subsequent cases. The United States employs a combination of common law, statutory law (laws written by legislatures), and regulatory law (rules put in place by the Executive branch).

The correct answer is: common law
