Answer 1

Answer:

d. contracts drafted under a common law system tend to be longer than those drafted under a civil law system.

Explanation:

Common law can be defined as a set of unwritten laws which are primarily based on precedent court decisions, tribunal decisions and customs and are usually employed in similar court judgments and rulings that cannot be determined by existing statutes.

On the other hand, civil law can be defined as a set of law which regulates private or personal matters such as family matters, marriage, property, contracts etc.

When comparing contracts in common law and civil law systems, it can be said that contracts drafted under a common law system tend to be longer than those drafted under a civil law system because the drafters of contracts under civil law are able to rely on codified and standard default rules.
