Which laws are made by members of Congress? civil laws

Members of Congress primarily make **statutory laws**. Statutory laws are written laws passed by legislative bodies, such as Congress at the federal level or state legislatures at the state level. This type of law governs various aspects of society and creates legal obligations.

- **Civil laws** typically refer to laws that govern disputes between individuals or organizations, often pertaining to rights, contracts, and obligations but are not exclusively created by Congress.

- **Constitutional laws** involve the interpretation and application of the Constitution. While Congress can create statutes that impact constitutional law, constitutional law itself is not directly made by Congress.

- **Military laws**, or military codes, govern members of the armed forces and are part of a separate legal system known as the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), which is distinct from statutory laws made by Congress.

In summary, Congress is responsible for enacting statutory laws.
