 | | Not all nation-states have constitutions, though all such states have a jus commune, or law of the land, that may consist of a variety of imperative and consensual rules, that may be customary law, oral law and written law that apply in the various jurisdictions of such state. | | | In the United States, constitutional law generally refers to the provisions of the United States Constitution, as interpreted by the United States Supreme Court. | | | Compare, for example, the written Constitution of the United States with British constitutional law, which arises from multiple sources including Magna Carta, the common law, and other customary sources. |

| | United States constitutional law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In the United States, constitutional law refers "the interpretation and implementation of the United States Constitution" [1]. | | | However, neither English common law courts or continental civil law courts generally have the power to declare legislation illegal or unconstitutional but only the power to interpret the law itself. | | | The court later extended this review to relevant state laws—in order, for example, to determine whether a state law conformed to the Contract Clause or (after the Fourteenth Amendment was added) whether a state had violated the Equal Protection Clause. |

| | Chief Justice Burger dissented holding that the court's opinion would "seriously invade the constitutional prerogatives of the States and regrettably hark back to the heyday of substantive due process." He held that there was a legitimate health purpose for the statute's doctor/pharmacist requirement and that therefore the married/single issue is not legitimately before the court. | | | As a result, the Court did not decide the substantive constitutional issue of whether Connecticut’s law was unconstitutional or not. | | | 14th Amendment, nonetheless exist in the Constitution and are enforceable against the federal and state governments. |
