There are three types of laws in the US; civil law, criminal law, and ________law.

A. Popular
B. Federal
C. State
D. Public


Answer: D. Public
The answer is D, Public Law. Public Law is a theory of law governing the relationship between individuals (citizens, companies) and the state. Under this theory, Constitutional law, administrative law and criminal law are sub-divisions of public law. This theory is at odds with the concept of Constitutional law, which requires all law to be specifically enabled, and thereby sub-divisions, of a Constitution.
