Lawyers

In the United States, laws are created and enforced at three primary levels: federal, state, and local. The legal system is based on the U.S. Constitution, which establishes the government structure and fundamental rights. Federal laws govern national issues such as civil rights, immigration, and interstate commerce, while state laws vary and cover areas like criminal law, family law, and property law. Local laws handle specific regulations for cities or counties. The judiciary, composed of federal and state courts, interprets and applies these laws across the country.
