To determine which of the following is a law passed by Congress, we need to understand the different types of laws.
1. Common Law: Common law refers to legal principles and rules that are developed through court decisions over time. It is not directly passed by Congress.
2. Constitutional Law: Constitutional law consists of the laws and principles outlined in a country's constitution. While Congress can pass amendments to the constitution, the constitution itself is generally not considered a law passed by Congress.
3. Natural Law: Natural law is a theory that suggests there are inherent moral principles and rights that should be upheld in all societies. It is not something that is passed by Congress.
4. Statutory Law: Statutory law is the type of law that is passed by a legislative body, such as Congress. It involves the enactment of laws through the formal legislative process.
Based on these definitions, the only option that is a law passed by Congress is statutory law. Therefore, the correct answer is statutory law.
