A(n) _______ is an order, rule, or law enacted by a municipal or county government to govern a local matter unaddressed by state or federal legislature.

Administrative rule
Court opinion
Ordinance
Statute

The correct answer is: Ordinance

An administrative rule is a regulation enacted by a government agency, not a municipal or county government. A court opinion is a written explanation of a court's decision, not a governing law. A statute is a law enacted by a state or federal legislature, not a municipal or county government. An ordinance is a specific type of law that only applies to local matters and is created by a municipal or county government. It is used when there is no existing state or federal law on the topic. All other options do not fit the definition of an ordinance.
