Where does statutory law come from?

  1. Court decisions

  2. U.S. Congress or state legislatures

  3. Government agencies

  4. Historical customs

The correct answer is: U.S. Congress or state legislatures

Statutory law refers to laws that are created and passed by Congress at the federal level or by state legislatures at the state level. These laws are then codified and published in official legal codes. Court decisions, also known as case law, play a role in interpreting statutory laws, but they do not originate from the courts. Government agencies may create regulations that have the force of law, but they are not considered statutory laws. Historical customs may influence the creation of laws, but they are not a direct source of statutory laws. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
