Is the English legal system the same as American legal system?

Common law encompasses law that is "understood" rather than legislated by Congress, in the U.S. Common law in the US began with the common law of England. So English common law is part of the basis of law in the U.S. Where there is no legislated law in a particular area and courts have cases in those areas - the court will turn to common law for guidance on what the law is and how the case should be decided. This is a simplified answer but specifically to your question - NO, they are not "the same" in the US and England.
