Common law evolves in part based on decisions in court cases.


"Common law" in English history was the body of precedents established by courts and procedures from the Middle Ages onward. It wasn't so much that there was a codified system of laws, but there were past practices and procedures that informed legal decisions to be made in the present. The American legal system still takes this sort of approach to law, letting past precedents inform decisions on new situations that arise.

Libel

Publishing false statements knowingly is referred to as libel. This differs from slander which is defamation of character expressed verbally.

Though the US constitution contains an amendment protecting freedom of the press, this amendment does not protect people from false information. The Supreme Court has not allowed people to report false information in particular about individuals that ruin their reputation or defame their character to be protected by the First Amendment.

Ugo [173]

Answer:

When deciding on someone to support in an election you must pay attention to what they say and what they do. Even though they might say they would do something for the country in the future doesn't mean they would actually do it. So look at what they've done in the present and past to determine what they say they will do in the future and pay attention to the way the speak mood and tone always factor into things like that.
