Answer to Question 1

FELONY  the most serious level of criminal acts, which carry a minimum of a one-year prison sentence for anyone convicted. Substantial fines may also be levied to convicted felons. Some examples of felony crimes include: rape, murder, aggravated assault, and many crimes against children.

MISDEMEANOR  a criminal act of moderate severity that may result in a jail sentence of up to one year, and/or a substantial fine. Many states establish maximum fine limits for misdemeanor convictions. For example, the state of Virginia has a maximum misdemeanor fine of 2500.

ORDINANCE VIOLATION  an ordinance is a law enacted by a city, local, or municipal government. Because they do not have the same legal authority as state or federal governments, the maximum penalty for an ordinance violation is a civil forfeiture (fine). It is a civil forfeiture because ordinance violations are not criminal acts. As a result municipal courts have lower standards of evidence than beyond a reasonable doubt, and convictions can be had with a preponderance of evidence.
