Answer to Question 2

Substantive law defines the parameters of social behavior, while procedural law defines the process of adjudicating those behaviors. Procedural law uses evidence to demonstrate the truth or untruth of allegations in a court of law, and are highly codified. Common law is a body of law based on the concept that legitimate legal authority derives from the consent of the people and is based on customs and traditions embodied in case law. Common law lead to the development of precedents in which prior judicial decisions that establish the legal authority or rule for future cases dealing with the same legal question. Civil law is a legal system that was derived from Roman law, and today are based primarily on legislation and the creation of a system of consistency through decisions based on principles. The American society relies upon common law and civil law.
