• Read the dialogue and answer the question. There's only one correct answer.   Tom: John, I just read that there are hundreds of unique systems of law used around the world. It's crazy to think about all the different ways people interpret and enforce laws. John: Yeah, it's fascinating how different societies can have such distinct legal systems. What did you find most interesting? Tom: Well, according to this article, legal systems often evolve at two paces – gradual changes in response to societal attitudes, or rapid shifts due to major events like revolutions or conflicts. Can you imagine a complete overhaul of our legal system overnight? John: It's definitely hard to wrap my head around. And geographical, historical, and political events can also shape a country's legal system. Tom: Right! Like how in Western countries, Civil Law is the most prevalent type of legal system, tracing its origins back to the Roman Justinian code from the 6th century. But then other countries were influenced by the French Revolution and adopted the Napoleonic Code of Civil Law instead. John: That's true. I've heard that even some African countries have Civil Law systems based on the Belgian influence during colonization. Tom: Wow, I had no idea. These systems sound so complex. John: Yes, they do. And all of them involve a national constitution, legislation, subordinate laws, traditions, and codes of laws. It's pretty impressive how these five elements come together to create a functioning legal system. Tom: Absolutely. And it makes me appreciate the importance of having well-defined and enforced laws in our society. John: Definitely. It may seem complicated, but ultimately, the goal is to maintain fairness and justice for everyone.   Question: Which historical event led to the creation of the Napoleonic Code of Civil Law?

Mark: No, I haven't. How is it different from the current regulations? Lila: Well, it gives more power to federal agencies in enforcing and monitoring compliance with environmental laws. And it also imposes stricter penalties for violations. Mark: That sounds like a good step towards protecting our environment. But what about local laws? Do they have any impact on this issue? Lila: Yes, definitely. Each state has its own set of environmental laws that are tailored to their specific needs and challenges. Mark: Right, I remember learning about that in my Environmental Law class. So even if there are national laws in place, local governments can create additional regulations? Lila: Exactly. They can provide more detailed rules that cater to the particular needs of the community. And these local laws must comply with both state and federal laws. Mark: Interesting. These different levels of laws can get quite complex. Lila: Definitely. And it reflects the unique history, culture, values, and political institutions of each sovereign state. That's why we have diverse legal systems around the world. Mark: Yeah, I never realized how vast and intricate the field of law is. Lila: It sure is. And keeping up with all the changes and developments is no easy task. Mark: You're right about that. Thanks for explaining everything to me, Lila. I really appreciate it. Lila: Anytime, Mark.
