Constitutional Law involves law derived from which source, with final interpretation by the supreme or high court?

• A. Tort
• B. Constitutional Law
• C. Administrative Law
• D. Statutory Law

Answer: (B)

Constitutional Law is defined by the written framework that establishes a country’s government and protects fundamental rights. It derives from the constitution itself, including its amendments, which serve as the supreme source of legal authority. Because it holds the highest rank, any law or government action that conflicts with the constitution is invalid, and disputes about constitutional meaning are resolved by the highest court through judicial interpretation. This final interpretive role is what distinguishes constitutional law from other branches: it isn’t based primarily on statutes enacted by legislature, on administrative rules, or on general tort principles. The supreme or high court acts as the ultimate interpreter to determine how the constitution applies to specific cases.
