What is the definition of a statute?

  1. A rule made by a corporation

  2. A law passed by a state legislature

  3. A guideline for judicial conduct

  4. An international treaty

The correct answer is: A law passed by a state legislature

A statute is specifically a law passed by a state legislature, not a corporation, guideline for judicial conduct, or international treaty. While corporations may have their own rules and policies, they are not considered statutes. Guidelines for judicial conduct are ethical standards, not laws. And international treaties are agreements between countries, not laws passed by state legislatures.
