A petty crime is a minor infraction of the law. For example, driving without following traffic rules, selling on stalls without permission etc. is an offense

Petty crimes have been defined under Section 2(45) to mean offences for which the maximum punishment provided under any law including the IPC, is imprisonment up to 3 years

Serious offences' include those offences for which punishment under any law is imprisonment between 3 to 7 years. It include assault, robbery, murder, burglary etc.

On the basis of impact and circumstances the act of offense has been done, above the classification of the offence whether it comes under petty crime or serious offence, it could  be better decided for the punishment at the discretion of judiciary to decide the type and quantum of the punishment.

Which rights and guarantees were secured by the Fifteenth Amendment to the US Constitution?
erik [133]
The Fifteenth Amendment to the US Constitution guarantees that no citizen will be denied the right to vote based upon their "race, color, or previous position of servitude." The Amendment was ratified on February 3, 1870 and was the third and final Reconstruction Amendment. This amendment was a major amendment in advancing racial equality in the United States in that it guaranteed African Americans the right to vote. However, it would continue to take years before the spirit of this law was fully implemented and continues to be challenged today in the courts.
