You're welcome.
It will always pay to reread your text with a particular question in mind when you run into a question and its answer choices you're not sure of. Rereading is something everyone needs to do more of!!
Definitely not A or D!
Please read and reread your text with this question in mind, and let us know what you learn.
Reading back through the chapter I'm starting to think it's C.
Yes, C.
Okie, and thank you for you're help!! And for telling me to read back, I can miss a lot of stuff when reading^^
No, it is not option A. The sources of the laws of the United States are not exclusively based on the beliefs and practices of Christian cultures over the last 2000 years.
To determine the correct answer, let's analyze the provided options:
Option B suggests that the sources of U.S. laws are the written codes of nations that are the political allies of the United States. However, the laws of the United States are primarily derived from its own legal system, rather than being directly based on the laws of other countries.
Option C states that the sources of U.S. laws are the ideas, traditions, and laws of previous generations and historically influential societies. This is much closer to the correct answer. The laws of the United States have been influenced by a variety of sources, including English common law, legal principles of Western civilization, and historical legal traditions.
Option D suggests that the rules and instructions laid out in the Book of Deuteronomy in the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament serve as the sources of U.S. laws. While some legal principles overlap with religious texts, the United States has a secular legal system that is not solely based on religious teachings.
Therefore, the most accurate answer is option C: the ideas, traditions, and laws of previous generations and historically influential societies serve as the sources of the laws of the United States.
