Question

Statutory laws are created by __________________ at the local, state, and national levels.
a. elected representatives
b. appointed representatives
c. councils of citizens
d. average citizens

Answer 1

In most wester democracies, statutory laws are created by "elected representatives" at the local, state, and national levels, since these are explicit laws that are intended to guide society. 

Answer 2

The correct option is A

The law (in Latin, lex, legis) is a legal norm dictated by the legislator, that is, a precept established by the competent authority, in which something is ordered or prohibited in accordance with the law whose non-compliance leads to a penalty. Laws are delimiting the free will of people within society.
