Answer:

Napoleon. The legal system in Louisiana—unlike that of any other state—derives from the Civil Code established by the French emperor in 1804. ... In theory, a judge in Louisiana decides a case based on her own interpretation of the code, not those of prior courts

Explanation:

Louisiana is the only Civil law jurisdiction in the United States. Louisiana gets its Civil law legal system from its colonial past as a possession of two Civil law countries, Spain and France. It may be better to think of Louisiana's legal system as a hybrid consisting of both Civil and Common law influences

Why was the Open Door Policy important to the United States?

navik [9.2K]

The answer is B

Basically, Europe (Britain, Germany, Russia, France, etc.) was trying to divide up China among itself. America (since they now had the Philippines and could trade more in Asia) wanted to make sure they weren't locked out of trading with China. So the US kinda stepped into the discussion and said "I think that no matter what happens, let's not stop anyone from trading here. So even if Russia or Britain hates us at some point, that doesn't stop us from doing what we need to do."

What's funny is most of Europe went along with it. (except Russia because Russia don't care).
