Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

o Law. The U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land; state constitutions are supreme within state borders to the extent that they do not violate the U.S.
Constitution or a federal law.
Statutes or laws passed by Congress and by state legislatures, plus local ordinances; statutory law is laws or ordinances created by federal, state, and
o local legislatures and governing bodies; none of these laws can violate the U.S. Constitution or the relevant state constitution; uniform laws, when adopted by a state legislature, become statutory law in that state.
Regulations created by regulatory agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration comprise administrative Law. This includes the rules, orders, and
o decisions of federal or state government administrative agencies; federal administrative agencies are created by enabling legislation enacted by U.S.
Congress. Agency functions include rulemaking, investigation and enforcement, and adjudication.
Case law (court decisions) and common law doctrines are judge-made laws,
o including interpretations of constitutional provisions, of statutes enacted by legislatures, and of regulations created by administrative agencies.
