Expert: Hank Hokamp - 10/31/2009
Question
How did the US supreme court create a single nation from several states?
Answer
Thanks for your question, Angelina:
At both the federal and state levels, the law of the United States was originally largely derived from the common law system of English law, which was in force at the time of the Revolutionary War. However, U.S. law has diverged greatly from its English ancestor both in terms of substance and procedure, and has incorporated a number of civil law innovations.
