Statutory laws are created by _______________

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Statutory laws are laws created by the legislative branch of government, which in the United States is Congress at the federal level and state legislatures at the state level. Therefore, choice letter B, Congress, is the correct answer. Choices A, C, D, and E are incorrect because they do not have the authority to create statutory laws. The court system interprets and applies the law, federal agencies create regulations based on laws passed by Congress, local law enforcement enforces laws, and the executive branch enforces laws and can create executive orders, but not statutory laws.
