Public law is a branch of legal studies, which is significantly extensive and deals with the legal relationship between the government and its citizens, who are the state's subjects. It also deals with the situations between individuals and companies and how these affect the state. Public law is a very broad area of study and can be further divided into different categories namely, Constitutional Law, Administrative Law, Criminal Law, Tax Law, and International Public law. Constitutional Law is concerned with the relations between a citizen and the different branches of the state. Administrative Law, however, covers different government agencies. It also governs the matters relating to the conflicts between individuals of a state and provides certain rules and regulations that protect the violation of the rights of the public.
