The united states has two court systems, state and federal. The federal system:?
Find answers to your legal question.

1. has discretionary jurisdiction over all cases arising in the state system
2. is the only one with appellate courts.
3. is the only one based on the constitutional doctrine of the separation of powers
4. none of the choices are correct

I missed this question on my test. Can someone give me the right answer for my study guide.

I would have to say I would choose the first answer because the federal system will always have jurisdiction over state judicial system. The laws for state only apply to the state in which the offense accrued. It also depends if the offender had committed crime across state lines that will also make it a federal jurisdiction case.
