system? Your help and wisdom is appreciated:)

Answer 1

America used the English system of Justice for over 200 years before it became the United States of America, so having a Justice System already in place really helped! Most of our laws are descendants or based somewhat on the Enlish system. So, that would be its precedent setting, it going ahead of our U.S. system. Then the framers of the Constitution added other rights to theirs to give us even more freedoms, rights and new laws. Plus, the constitution allowed us the framework within to make new laws.

Answer 2

U.K. has no written constitution. Every law made there takes "precedent" as the basis of new law. In military and civilian dictatorships precedent plays no part. In other free societies courts and administrators at various levels give a lot of importance to precedents while taking decisions. A precedent is a legal and correct decision based on which the present or future decision is made or modified.

Answer 3
