Brief Explanations
- Negligence is when a person does not intend to commit a crime but shows extreme lack of care. Common law is a body of unwritten laws based on legal precedents. Murder is an intentional act of killing another person. A misdemeanor is a less - serious crime.
- Laws written down and passed by legislative bodies are legislative statutes. Common law is not codified in this way. The US Constitution is the fundamental law of the United States, not just any codified law passed by a legislative body.
