18 USC 2651 corresponds to which Act?

• A. Bivens Act
• B. Color of Law Act
• C. Qualified Immunity Act
• D. Federal Torts Claims Act

Answer: (D)

The key idea is that civil liability for torts by federal actors is handled by a statute that waives the government’s immunity for certain wrongful acts. The Federal Tort Claims Act allows a person to sue the United States for injuries, property damage, or death caused by negligent or wrongful acts of federal employees acting within the scope of their official duties, with an established process and limits. The other options don’t fit because Bivens arises from a court decision creating a damages remedy against federal officers personally for constitutional violations (not a formal tort-claims statute), and there are no separate acts named “Color of Law” or “Qualified Immunity”; qualified immunity is a defense, not a separate remedial statute. Therefore, the statute that corresponds to this scenario is the Federal Tort Claims Act.
