3. I agree.
For question 2, the correct answer is "hear only traffic cases."
To arrive at this answer, we need to understand what courts of limited jurisdiction are. Courts of limited jurisdiction typically have a specific and limited range of authority. In the context of the question, they are courts that deal with specific types of cases, rather than having broad jurisdiction.
Option A, "try all criminal cases," suggests that courts of limited jurisdiction handle all criminal cases. However, this is incorrect because courts of limited jurisdiction generally only handle lower-level or misdemeanor offenses, while more serious criminal cases are typically heard in courts of general jurisdiction.
Option B, "hear appeals," is also incorrect because courts of limited jurisdiction typically do not handle appeals. Appeals are usually heard in higher-level or appellate courts.
Option C, "hear only traffic cases," is the correct answer. Courts of limited jurisdiction commonly handle traffic offenses such as speeding tickets, parking violations, and other minor traffic infractions.
Option D, "None of the above," is incorrect because the correct answer is Option C.
For question 3, the correct answer is "judicially created."
The exclusionary rule is a legal principle that generally prohibits evidence obtained through illegal or unconstitutional means from being used in a criminal trial. It is designed to deter illegal police behavior and protect individuals' Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable searches and seizures.
Option A, "judicially created," is the correct answer because the exclusionary rule was established by U.S. courts through their interpretation and application of the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The rule was first recognized in the 1914 U.S. Supreme Court case called Weeks v. United States.
Option B, "a rule of exclusion," is a correct description of the exclusionary rule but does not fully explain its origin. The rule is indeed centered around the exclusion of unlawfully obtained evidence, but it is important to note that it is a rule created by courts rather than being explicitly stated in the Constitution.
Option C, "not found in the U.S. Constitution," is incorrect because the exclusionary rule is based on the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which protects against unreasonable searches and seizures.
Option D, "All of the above," is incorrect because the correct answer is Option A, judicially created.
