Tracing the Law Across Sources
No source of law stands alone. A statute empowers an agency; the agency interprets it; a court tests that interpretation; the legislature can answer back — and above all of it sits the Constitution. Here are five real chains, laid out so you can watch the conversation move between source types — including one conversation no branch has finished.
Each lane is a kind of law. Read an event in its lane, follow the arrow to what it provoked, and notice how authority passes between the branches. Pick a story, then tap any step on the timeline or read the steps below it.
