Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

Beginning in 2000 the U.S. Supreme raised serious constitutional doubts about the constitutionality of state sentencing guidelines. In particular the Court has held that juries and not judges have the authority to decide on important facts (other than prior record) that determine sentencing. Cunningham v. California (2007) made it clear that the Blakely decision applied not just to federal but to state sentencing schemes as well.
