Answer 6

1. Lets say you were doing something illegal and you saw something you weren't supposed to see, such as a murder. It is more important to get your story on the murder especially if you saw who did it. They will offer you immunity if you testify against the murderer. (weird, but I couldn't think of anything else off the top of my head.)

2. If you refuse to testify, you are disobeying the court order and you can be charged with contempt which usually involves you getting some jail time.

3. Legislative oversight was meant for the legislative branch to make sure the executive branch carries out the laws Congress passes. (I don't really know what else to say on this one)
