Question

A case would begin in a U.S. District Court instead of a state-level trial court when it involves
a. laws or law enforcement in one state.
b. an ambassador from a foreign nation.
c. charges for crimes of a serious nature.
d. a challenge to the meaning of a law.
I think its either c or d, but im leaning towards D. It says its starts with U.S. District Court not Supreme...

Answer 1

well its not A nor B but whenever i read from http://www.uscourts.gov/FederalCourts/UnderstandingtheFederalCourts/FederalCourtsStructure.aspx
it said The United States district courts are the trial courts of the federal court system. Within limits set by Congress and the Constitution, the district courts have jurisdiction to hear nearly all categories of federal cases, including both CIVIL and CRIMINAL MATTERS
so in my opinion i think im going to go with D as well but C might be right if your not 100 about this i think its a good idea to research the courts

Answer 2

I agree with d, because although it says that it also deals with criminal cases, I think you need more info because it depends on the case, right?

Answer 3

exactly! if there was more info that they put into it then i might of went with D but i am leaning on D as well
