How do common-law and civil-law traditions generally differ, and why is 'case law versus codes' only a shorthand?

Common-law traditions give judicial precedent a prominent role; civil-law traditions emphasize systematic legislative codes. Both use legislation and judicial decisions. The authority of a decision depends on the court and jurisdiction; some civil-law decisions are binding. A legal system can combine traditions.

What is the usual contrast between adversarial and inquisitorial procedure?

Adversarial models emphasize parties presenting and testing their cases before an impartial decision-maker. Inquisitorial models give judges or other judicial authorities greater responsibility for investigating facts. Actual procedures can combine features and differ between civil and criminal matters; these labels are not exact synonyms for common law and civil law.

How does the U.S. Constitution divide federal governmental powers?

Article I vests legislative powers granted by the Constitution in Congress; Article II vests executive power in the President; Article III vests judicial power in the Supreme Court and congressionally established lower federal courts. The branches have distinct roles but also constitutionally authorized checks and overlapping functions.

How do checks and balances operate in the U.S. federal government?

Constitutional powers let the branches check one another. Examples include the presidential veto and congressional override, Senate advice and consent for specified appointments and treaties, and judicial review in cases properly before the courts.

Contrast the Virginia Plan, the New Jersey Plan, and the Connecticut (Great) Compromise at the 1787 Constitutional Convention.

The Virginia Plan (James Madison) proposed a bicameral legislature with representation based on population (favoring large states); the New Jersey Plan (William Paterson) proposed a unicameral legislature with equal representation for each state (favoring small states). Roger Sherman's Great Compromise created a bicameral Congress with a population-based House of Representatives and an equal-representation Senate (2 per state).

What were the Three-Fifths Compromise and the Slave Trade Compromise at the Constitutional Convention?

Three-Fifths Compromise: Every five enslaved persons were counted as three free persons for both apportioning seats in the House of Representatives (and Electoral College) and levying direct taxes. Slave Trade Compromise: Congress was prohibited from banning the international importation of enslaved people for 20 years (until 1808), while Congress gained power to regulate interstate and foreign commerce by simple majority.
