Hmmm, I don't think that the laws of the US are based on the Ten Commandments ( I have never heard anyone say that), I think the laws of the US were originally based on the Puritanic code, the US was founded by puritans (roughly speaking). This explains the laws concerning things such as alcohol, tobacco, pornogrpahy, mariage, etc. I agree that the laws have been amended so many times that it becomes more difficult to see the "roots" of American culture, but I think that if you look at the Puritans rather than Moses you will find a more clear basis for US law.

The constitution is considered "the highest law in the land."  It contains the Preamble, which is basically a statement of what the US is all about; the Articles, which give the basic structure of the government and the powers that each branch of government has, and the rules for amending the constitution; and the Amendments, which cover all kinds of issues regarding citizenship, rights of citizens, and more stuff about the structure of the government and how it gets paid.

This is actually from the Declaration of Independence...\n"...life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Thomas Jefferson, who wrote it, had not quite determined whether or not the colonists had a natural right to property. But he did have great conviction that the British, or any government for that matter, could not impede their God-given right to live out their lives without tyrannical, micromanaging elitists controling every aspect of life.

Article Six of the US Constitution says, "This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding," which essentially meas that federal law always supersedes state law.\n\nThe Supreme Court has ruled that, since marijuana is sold across state lines and more often than not comes from outside the country altogether, Congress can regulate pot under the Commerce Clause. Congress can even regulate non-interstate sale of pot because it affects interstate commerce.

The land that is known as America is the land of my ancestors, My people have always been here, we have lived and died here for as long as man has a memory. There is no place that I would go to. I would die defending my homeland. This is my country and I will not flee. A revolutionary sea captain said it best, I dont recall his name. " Give me liberty or give me death!"

Do your paper yourself or you won't learn anything.\n"the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 put the world on notice not only that the land north of the Ohio River and east of the Mississippi would be settled but that it would eventually become part of the United States. Until then this area had been temporarily forbidden to development."

William Penn  founded the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the British North American colony that became the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. The democratic principles that he set forth in the Pennsylvania Frame of Government served as an inspiration for the United States Constitution. Ahead of his time, Penn also published a plan for a United States of Europe, "European Dyet, Parliament or Estates. Before moving to America, Penn owned ironworks in the Kent village of Hawkhurst.

In the U.S. the supreme court is tasked with interpreting the constitution.  The supreme court has the power to find laws written the legislature unconstitutional.

Law #1: Do what you are told or you will be SHOT!\n\nLaw #2: There is no law #2. Law #1 covers everything.\n\nApologies to Otto Preminger and the movie "Stalag 17."\n\nSeriously though (in hierarchal order*):\n*1. U.S. Constitution\n*2. Treaties/Federal Statutes (last in time prevails)\n*3. Executive Agreements/Regulations\n*4. State Laws\n 5. Common/judge-made law (if Constitutional interpretation, or law of the case, then law prevails; otherwise, may be overridden by subsequent statute; Constitutional amendment overrides all prior interpretations).
