1: The sources of law! wonderful topic to discuss about. The first source of law is constitutional law. Two constitutions are applicable in every state: the federal or US Constitution, which is in force throughout the United States of America, and the state's constitution. The US Constitution created our legal system, "The Legal System in the United States". States' constitutions typically focus on issues of local concern.
Of all the sources of law, constitutional law is considered the highest and should not be supplanted by either of the other sources of law. Pursuant to principles of federal supremacy, the federal or US Constitution is the most preeminent source of law, and state constitutions cannot supersede it.
2: Professor, the source I choose to describe is treaties. Treaties are promises of peace between the US. and a foreign country. Using these treaties as ways to increase and shape foreign trade and business influences. What I learned from reading is that the President must have two thirds consent from congress to achieve a successful treaty with a foreign country. There is a down side of making treaties because of neighboring countries and the foreign relations with other countries or nations can cause hostile or more negotiations with them. Trade laws with foreign countries Switzerland's for its chocolate.
3: Great post. When a treaty is negotiated and ratified, as you said, by 2/3 of the Senate, what effect does it have on people in the US? Can it be ignored, or is it a law?
4: The sources of law are; the Constitutions, Treaties, Codified law: statues and ordinances, Executive orders, Regulations and orders of administrative agencies, and Judicial decisions.
The U.S. Constitution takes precedence over all law as it is supreme law of the land. It establishes the federal government and any law that conflicts with the U.S. Constitution, whether federal, state or local is unconstitutional and unenforceable. Powers that are not given to the federal government are reserved to the states and the individual state establish their governments and enumerate their powers (Cheeseman, 2014).
