Which of the following is a division of human law?

• A. Civil Law
• B. Natural Law
• C. Eternal Law
• D. Revealed Law

Answer: (A)

The main idea is understanding how different kinds of law relate to who makes them and for what purposes. Civil law is the part of law created by people to govern how we interact with each other and manage things like contracts, property, and damages. It comes from human authorities—legislatures and courts—and is enforced within a community, so it’s a division of human law.

In contrast, natural law refers to universal moral principles that reason can discern by humans, not something created by a specific authority. Eternal law is the divine order of the universe as a whole, and revealed law is what God has disclosed through revelation. Those are not human-made codes, which is why they aren’t divisions of human law.
