Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The law of all states in the U.S. except Louisiana is based on English common law. This means that the legal system in the United States is largely based on the English legal system, including the principles of common law, which are derived from judicial decisions and legal precedents. Louisiana's legal system is based on the civil law system, which is derived from the Napoleonic Code. The other options are incorrect: A is incorrect because state courts are generally required to follow legal precedents established by higher courts, including the Supreme Court; C is incorrect because most states have merged their law and equity courts; and D is incorrect because the U.S. Congress does not have the authority to mandate that all states follow the same law, as the U.S. Constitution reserves certain powers to the states.
