MGMT 209 Exam 1 || WITH A+ SOLUTIONS.
What is law? correct answers Law consists of enforceable rules governing relationships
among individuals and between individuals and their society.

Types of Law correct answers U.S. Constitution and the constitutions of the various states
Statutory laws - including laws passed by congress state, legislatures, or local governing
bodies
Regulations - created by administrative agencies, such as the Food and Drug Administration
Case law and common law doctrines

Constitutional Law correct answers Supreme law of the land; a law in violation of the
Constitution, if challenged, will be declared unconstitutional and will not be enforced, no
matter what the source. Creates national government.
State constitutions create state governments. Highest form of the law within borders of that
state, unless it conflicts with the U.S. Constitution or a federal law. 10th Amendment reserves
all powers not granted to federal government to states. Subject to the U.S. Constitution.

Statutory Law correct answers Enacted by legislative bodies at any level of government, such
as states passed by Congress or by state legislatures. Federal statutes apply to everyone; state
statutes apply to only borders of the state. Cannot violate constitutional law (state or federal)
Municipal/county government - enact ordinances, which govern matters not covered by state
or federal law. Ordinances cannot violate U.S. or state constitutions.

Uniform Laws correct answers During the 1800s, the differences among state laws frequently
created difficulties for businesspersons conducting trade and commerce among the states.
Each state has the option of adopting or rejecting a uniform law. Only if a state legislature
adopts a uniform law does that law become part of the statutory law of that statute. May
adopt all, none, or part - not entirely "uniform".

Administrative Law correct answers Affect daily lives.
Consists of rules, orders, and decisions of administrative agencies (a federal, state, or local
government agency established to perform a specific function).
Rule making, power to investigate and enforce, power to judge ("adjudicate"); THREE
BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT
Federal agencies (cabinet departments of the executive branch) - subject to the authority of
the president, who has the power to appoint and remove officers.
Independent regulatory agencies - president's power is less pronounced; officers serve on
fixed terms and cannot be removed without just cause.

Common Law correct answers Common law - a body of general rules that applied throughout
the entire English realm.
Case law - the doctrines and principles announced in cases, governs all areas not covered by
statutory and administrative law.
English ancestry (Pilgrims brought English system). 1066 William the Conquerer created
English Law.
Remedies - king's courts; the legal means to enforce a right or redress a wrong.
Compensations: land, items of value, or money. COURTS OF LAW AND REMEDIES AT
LAW.

, Equity - COURTS OF EQUITY seek to supply a remedy when no adequate remedy at law is
available. REMEDIES IN EQUITY - specific performance, an injunction (an order to a party
to cease engaging in a specific activity or to undo some wrong or injury), and recession (the
cancellation of a contractual obligation)

Stare Decisis correct answers Use of precedent cases to decide the present case. Judges must
enforce cases from higher courts within their jurisdiction (BINDING PRECEDENT). Higher
courts follow precedents, but have power to change it if majority of court chooses to do so.
Creates court efficiency, creates a just and uniform system, makes law stable and predictable,
uses lessons learned from the past
Courts of first impression use persuasive authorities (precedents from other jurisdictions),
legal principles and policies from other cases or statutes that might be relevant, fairness,
social values and customs, public policy, and social science data.

Departures from Precedent correct answers If ruling was incorrect, if ruling has become
outdated.
Example: Brown v. Board of Education overrule Plessy v. Ferguson's "separate but equal"
