Answer to Question 1

An ideal response would be:
State courts differ from federal courts in several important ways. State judges are more likely to decide cases involving their legislative and executive branches than the U.S. Supreme Court is to engage in congressional and presidential matters. In addition, because of Dillon's Rule, (local governments are creatures of the state), state judges are not constrained by the doctrine of federalism when dealing with local units of government. Furthermore, in nine states, the state Supreme Court can give advisory opinions at the request of the governor or state legislature.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
