• Administrative law pertains to the executory. It covers the many interactions between government
agents and civilians

• Criminal law deals with the prosecution of crimes (or criminal offences), i.e. unlawful acts which are
punished by the State because of their harmfulness towards individuals or the community

• Constitutional law lays the State's foundations, both regards protection of citizens' fundamental rights
and liberties, and the structural and functional organization of its powers

• Procedural law regulates the proceedings for the judicial application of private law, criminal law and
administrative law

• Tax law regulates taxation

How do secondary rules relate to the "basic norm"? - correct answer
"secondary" rules aim at identifying, changing and enforcing "primary" rules.



The "basic norm" is typically a secondary rule, which aims at identifying primary rules, thus ensuring

dynamism of a legal system

Rules which deal with the enforcement of primary ones ensure the efficiency of a legal system



What are sources of law? - correct answer The secondary rules which govern
the possible change of the primary ones are commonly known as sources of law



• Sources of law play a major role in the historical development of a legal order, since they stipulate
what facts or acts are capable:

• to change or repeal those already existing



• They answer to the question whether a particular rule is also a legal rule
