Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Common law is a legal system that originated in England and was later adopted in countries that were either colonized by Britain or influenced significantly by the British, such as the United States. This system is distinct from civil law, which is based on written codes and statutes, and from religious legal systems like Islamic law. Socialist law, meanwhile, refers to the legal systems developed under socialist states, which does not fit the context of British or American influence through colonization or defeat in war.
