Which type of law involves declarations about rights or behaviors?

Common Law
Statutory Law
International Law
Constitutional Law

The correct answer is: Statutory Law

The type of law that involves declarations about rights or behaviors is statutory law. Statutory law refers to laws that are enacted by a legislative body. These laws are written and codified, providing clear and specific rules that govern behavior and outline rights and responsibilities. When a legislature passes a law, it formally communicates what is permitted and what is prohibited within its jurisdiction. In contrast, common law is based on judicial decisions and precedents rather than written statutes, which means it evolves over time through case law rather than being clearly articulated in legislative texts. International law governs relationships between nations and may involve agreements but does not set declarations about rights or behaviors in the same direct manner as statutes do. Constitutional law deals specifically with the interpretation of the constitution, which includes fundamental rights but is not a body of law that is legislated in the same way as statutory law.
