In accordance with the Constitution, which term applies?

• A. Statutory
• B. Administrative
• C. Constitutional
• D. Common law

Answer: (C)

The main idea is what we call something that fits within the Constitution. When a rule, law, or action follows the Constitution, it is described as constitutional. The Constitution is the supreme law, so anything that complies with it is valid under constitutional law.

Statutory refers to laws created by the legislature, not to whether they conform to the Constitution. Administrative describes rules or decisions issued by government agencies. Common law is the body of law developed by courts through decisions and precedents. These describe origins or sources of law or how it’s created, rather than whether it aligns with constitutional requirements.

So, “in accordance with the Constitution” specifically means it is constitutional.
