how does louisiana's government differ from other state governments?

Question

what is the difference between Louisiana's government type compared with other state governments and laws

Answer 1

I can help with this one! Louisiana follows the civil law system, derived from Roman law, whereas the other states follow the common law system, derived from England.

In common law, the judge acts the part of law "maker" in which judges are often required to make decisions based on their perception of fairness and equity. Consequently, the common law is continuously evolving through the numerous decisions of judges.

In civil law, court decisions do not establish precedent and are not used as a source of law. The judge is viewed as a law "interpreter" who interprets the laws as written in the Louisiana Civil Code, a comprehensive system of laws governing most private conduct between individuals.

Answer 2

States had the right to choose their own government as long as it is within the provisions of the US Constitution. Thus, Louisiana adopted a different type of government with French influence.

Answer 3
