التوضيح

موثّق

Common Law:
In the United States, the law has evolved from its ancestry in Roman law and English common law. Law is based on precedent from similar cases that preceded the current issue. The practice of relying on precedent is called stare decisis. Following the formation of the U.S. Constitution, laws were legislated through the Senate and Congress and later promulgated through the states as well.
Opinion:
Therefore, the correct answer is option d. common law.
