Summary/Abstract: The common law experienced the greatest evolution with the Revolution of 1877 when the idea of an independent national American law appeared. The American law system is part of the Anglo-Saxon legal family, a judicial system, where the basic source of law is the norm formulated by judges and expressed in judicial precedents. The Supreme Court of the United States by some historical decisions has created precedents in shaping today's environmental policies. Thus, in the judgment Massachusetts v. Environmental Protection Agency, the Supreme Court wrote the „Climate History”. It is a decision that has sparked some of the most significant action taken by the US government to deal with climate change.
