Walk-Thru Guide for Units 2 (Legal
Environment in Business)
Directions:
1) The following questions are NOT practice exam questions. Instead, they are
specifically designed to be completed open book as you are reading through
the online textbook material.
2) Read page by page through the Unit without skipping around. The questions
will flow right in order as you read page by page through the Units.
3) Make sure you answer the questions very thoroughly. By doing this, you will
have a very robust review guide for the Units when you are finished.
1) Define “ethics”
2) List the 4 sources of American Law
3) What is the US Constitution according to Article VI?
4) What does the 10th Amendment do?
5) What happens if a State Constitution says something that conflicts with the
US Constitution? Who wins out?
6) Statutory laws are enacted by what kinds of bodies at any level of
government? What would happen if a statutory law was determined to be in
conflict with the US Constitution – who would win out?
Note: The Federal government’s legislative body is called “Congress”
Note: Additionally, each individual state has its own legislative body called
the “State Legislature”
Note: Smaller levels of government (Counties, Cities, Towns, Villages) can
pass statutory laws for their regions. These are called “ordinances”.
7) What would happen to a town ordinance created somewhere in a town in
Nebraska, if it was determined to be in conflict with the Nebraska State
Constitution or the US Constitution?
