Answer to Question 1

The functions of the court are to uphold the laws as created and defined by legislature, protect individuals, resolve disputes, and reinforce social norms. Courts have legal authority to make binding decisions.

A dual court system allows for separate courts for the federal government and federal issues from a state court system that addresses state legal issues. A dual court system is desirable because it parallels federalism, wherein the only powers of the federal government are those explicitly listed and the rest of the binding legal powers are left to the individual states.

Answer to Question 2

True

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
