I agree.
To answer the first question, determining what protects offenders by ensuring proportionate and non-arbitrary punishment, you can break down the question. The correct answer is option A, criminal law. Criminal laws are established by legislatures to define offenses and specify the appropriate punishment for those offenses. These laws are designed to protect offenders by ensuring that their punishments are proportionate and non-arbitrary.
For the second question, asking about the reference used at the federal level when referring to trial courts, the correct answer is option C, district courts. District courts are the general trial courts at the federal level. They have original jurisdiction in federal cases, including both civil and criminal matters. Therefore, when referring to trial courts at the federal level, the term "district courts" is used.
