Contract Law
Civil Law Contract
Contract law in the United States of America covers the regulation of the obligations agreed to under contract (written or unwritten) between private individuals. Contract law on the sale of goods has been standardized throughout the nation as a result of the adoption of the Uniform Commercial Code of the United States (Uniform Commercial Code). However, there is still significant diversity in the interpretation of other contracts, depending on the degree of codification of common law in each state and the adoption of the doctrine and jurisprudence on the subject.
The parties are entitled to agree to arbitration for those disputes that may arise from their contractual relationship. Under the Federal Arbitration Act of the United States (which has been interpreted to cover all born under the contracts under federal or state law), arbitration clauses are exercisable unless the party opposing arbitration can show unconstitutional, fraud or any cause of nullity of the contract itself.
State Law Independency
The Fifty American States and their laws
The fifty American states have independent sovereignty of their own featuring state constitutions and their own state governments. They hold plenary powers to enact laws relating to any matter not expressly subject to federal jurisdiction by the federal Constitution, laws federal or international treaties ratified by the U.S. Senate. The law of almost all federal states share the same basis of Common Law, with the notable exception of Louisiana, which is based on the Napoleonic Code of France, and has always been influenced by him. On the other hand, the passage of time has led to the courts and laws have been evolving independently, modifying the original Common Law. As a result, any federal state laws may differ greatly from that of any other state in the Union.
The Law System of the United States of America
The law of the United States of America is a system that largely derived from common law that was valid under the law of England at the time of the War of Independence. Today the supreme law is the United States Constitution, and under the principle of constitutional supremacy, the laws passed by Congress and treaties to which United States is a party, represent the next rung of the hierarchy of sources of law. These form the basis for federal laws under the federal constitution in the United States, establishing the limits of federal law and laws in all fifty states and other territories.
Sources of law
In the United States, the law is derived from four sources: the Constitution, laws, regulations, and the Common Law (which also includes the common law or case law). The most important source is the United States Constitution, all other sources being subordinate to the rule. No laws or regulations may contradict the provisions of the Constitution of the United States, for example, if Congress ratified a law whose content was at odds with the Constitution, the Supreme Court may require that this law is unconstitutional and to declare null and void.
