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.

Sav [38]

The correct answer is 1) continuing to improve roads, bridges, and canals.

John Quincy planed to ease tensions between the north and the south by continuing to improve roads, bridges, and canals.

The situation in the country continually presented many and more difficult situations. The issue of slavery and the pressure of the northern abolitionists combined to increase tension between the North and the South.

That is why President John Quincy Adams proposed a special program aimed to invest money in national infrastructure with the aid of federal funding. He wanted to build new bridges, roads, schools, and canals like the Erie Canal that was completed during his tenure.

What is justice and what role does it play in determining what ought to be done about global poverty
Levart [38]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Justice is the act to give people what it is appropriate, according to their necessities, work, perseverance, and commitment. Justice must maintain a fair opportunity for people getting what they want and deserve, always under legal circumstances.

The role Justice plays in determining what ought to be done about global poverty is that it has to promote a fair playing field for countries to trade under even circumstances, never granting advantages to the rich countries over the poor ones. Justice will allow fair trade and work opportunities when competing in open markets, so poor countries could have a real chance of benefiting from commerce and foreign investment.

Rich countries should not exploit poor countries, and they have to allow the proper scenario so people can have their basic needs covered.
