The American legal system is a common law system, where cases are settled based on tradition, common practice and interpretation of statutes.
美國的法律體系是普通法體系，在這種體系下，案件的裁決所依據(jù)的是傳統(tǒng)、慣例和對成文法的解釋。
As we have already known, as a matter of practice, even in common law countries there are quite a few number of codes of law.
眾所周知，實(shí)踐中普通法國家也有大量的法典存在。
But what should be emphasized is that the central feature of the system lies in its reliance on case law or judge-made law.
但要強(qiáng)調(diào)的是，普通法體系的顯著特征在于它對案例法或稱法官法的依賴。
That is, precedents are used as guidance to deal with the same or analogous situations arising today.
也就是說，先例被引用來處理現(xiàn)在所出現(xiàn)的相同或類似的情況。
The American legal system is originally based on the British legal system and the United States Constitution.
美國法律制度是在英國法律制度和美國憲法的基礎(chǔ)上建立的。
Article Ⅲ, Section Ⅰ of the Constitution States that the judicial power of the United States shall be vested in one Supreme Court,
美國憲法第三條第一款規(guī)定，美國的司法權(quán)授予一個(gè)最高法院 ，
and in such inferior courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.
和國會(huì)隨時(shí)建立的下級法院。
So in the United States of America, a United States Supreme Court is provided by the Constitution，
所以，在美國，有一個(gè)憲法規(guī)定的最高法院，
and other courts are established by the U.S. Congress in accordance with the Constitution.
以及美國國會(huì)依照憲法建立的其他法院。
