There may have been some statutory (codified laws) that were adopted, but more broadly, America adopted much of the English Common Law. This is law that developed though the decisions of courts on controversies that were brought before them. In turn, that served as the precedent for American courts that were called upon to address factually similar cases. As facts changes and societal mores changes, there was cause to diverge from the old precedent in certain cases.
