Question: 1 / 400

A(n) _____ is a written law enacted by a legislature under its constitutional law-making authority.

Administrative regulation

Statute

A. Administrative regulations are rules created by government agencies in order to have a specific regulatory system in place. They are not enacted by a legislature and do not fall under constitutional law-making authority, making this option incorrect.

C. A court's opinion is a written statement determining the outcome of a case based on the interpretation of relevant laws. While it is written, it is not enacted by a legislature and therefore does not fit the definition given in the question.

D. Constitutional provisions are laws that are included in a country's constitution. They are usually more general and overarching than statutes, which are specific and focused on particular issues. Therefore, they do not fall under the category of laws enacted by a legislature and are not the correct answer.
