Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

The positivist approach deals with natural law and assumes that there is a body of facts and principles to be discovered and understood that is independent of the context. In this approach, hypotheses are deduced from the theory to be tested in research. The dynamic approach is also referred to as constructivist. In this approach theories are inductively constructed and give insights into social contexts and personal meanings. This approach uses naturalistic settings and observational methods.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 3, 4

The three primary sources of law are statutes, constitutions, and decisions of court or common law. Contract and federal are types of law, but are not sources of law. Administrative laws are the fourth primary source of law.
