Public Law
Law can be divided into two main branches: private law and public law. Public law involves government directly. It defines a person’s rights and obligations in relation to government.
Public law can be divided into four branches: criminal law, constitutional law, administrative law, and international law.
Criminal law deals with crimes. Criminal law defines these offences and sets the rules for the arrest, the possible trial, and the punishment of offenders. The criminal laws of each state must protect the rights and freedoms guaranteed by federal constitutional law.
Constitutional law is based on the principles outlined in a constitution. A constitution is a set of rules and principles that define the powers of a government and the rights of the people. Conflicts between a constitution and other laws are settled by constitutional law.
Administrative law focuses on the operations of government departments. Administrative law is one of the most complicated branches of law. Governments set up many administrative departments to do the work of government. They deal with such matters as education, public health, and taxation. There are other departments that deal with such matters as pensions and social security. International law deals with the relationship among nations both in war and in peace. It concerns trade, communications, the uses of the ocean, and many other matters.
