The law of the United States was originally largely derived from the common law of the system of English law, which was in force at the time of the Revolutionary War. However, the supreme law of the land is the United States Constitution and, under the Constitution's Supremacy Clause, laws enacted by Congress and treaties to which the U.S. is a party. These form the basis for federal laws under the federal constitution in the United States, circumscribing the boundaries of the jurisdiction of federal law and the laws in the fifty U.S. states and territories.
The fifty American states are separate sovereigns with their own constitutions and retain plenary power to make laws covering anything not preempted by the federal Constitution or federal statutes. Nearly all states started with the same British common law base, although Louisiana law has always been strongly influenced by the French Napoleonic Code, but the passage of time has resulted in enormous diversity in the laws of the states. Over time, state courts expanded the old common law rules in different directions (through their traditional power to make law under stare decisis), and state legislatures passed various statutes expanding or overriding such judge-made rules.

Well, the law of the land of the US is the constitution. All laws are measured against this and if they are deemed constitutional then they are enforced if not then they are taken off the books and the law makers try again to correct the shortcomings of the law and to make it constitutional.

Look up the Bill of Rights and our Constitution. Then, look up each of the 50 states and check their laws.

The way it seems now is that with George Bush as President there are NO rules in this country! And that's my view point.
