Law is a system of rules that a society or government develops in order to deal with crime, business agreements, and social relationships. It can also be used to refer to a specific branch of law, such as criminal or civil law. Laws serve many purposes, but four principal ones are establishing standards, maintaining order, resolving disputes, and protecting liberties and rights.
The Constitution assigns to Congress the responsibility for organizing the executive and judicial branches, raising revenue, declaring war, and making laws that are necessary for executing these powers. The president has the right to veto specific legislative acts, but Congress can override presidential vetoes with two-thirds majorities in both houses of Congress. Congress must also provide advice and consent on key executive and judicial appointments and approve treaties.
Every Bill, after it shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall be presented to the President of the United States; and if he approves it, he shall sign it, but if not, he shall return it, with his Objections, to that House in which it shall have originated, for a Reconsideration: and if, after Reconsideration, it shall be approved by two thirds of that House, it shall become a Law.
Writing a law review article requires a lot of research, so you may need to include a few endnotes with citation information. For example, if you are discussing tort law, then you may need to cite cases that have been filed for damages due to wrongful death, defamation of character, or negligence.
