Civil law covers which two areas?

• A. Contract and Property
• B. Tort and Contract
• C. Constitutional and Administrative
• D. Criminal and Tort

Answer: (B)

Civil law handles disputes between private individuals and organizations rather than offenses against the state. The two main areas within civil law are contract and tort. Contract law governs how agreements are formed, what happens if one party doesn’t perform, and the remedies when a breach occurs (such as damages or specific performance). Tort law deals with civil wrongs that cause harm to another, like negligence or defamation, and the remedies typically involve damages or injunctions. Public-law areas like Constitutional and Administrative law deal with government powers and actions, while Criminal law concerns offenses against society and punishment. Property is part of civil law, but the two most commonly cited core areas are contract and tort.
