Answer to Question 1

The adversarial system of justice features two competing sets of interests (the defendant's and the government's through the prosecutor) working against each other in pursuit of the truth, from which stems the many protections our Constitution and laws afford people. Adversarialism promotes argument, debate, openness, and a winner/loser.

The inquisitorial system is opposite of the adversarial system. The inquisitorial system does not provide the same protections to the accused, the decision-making is in the hands of one or very few individuals, juries are often the exception, and the attorneys are more passive while the judge takes a more prominent role.
