Which punishment is the most likely consequence for a person found guilty in

Answer:

A. A prison sentence

Explanation:

A felony is the most serious type of crime. The term felony is not uniform throughout the United States, while the federal government defines felony as a crime with a punishment of more than one year, states are less strict about the definition. Maine and New Jersey do not classify their criminal offenses at all. Some states use the term felony, but do not define it.

However, most states, 43 in all, use and define the term typically by reference to either the length of a sentence or the place of incarceration, sometimes both. For instance, Idaho defines a felony as "a crime punishable by death or by imprisonment in the State prison", while Georgia defines the term as "a crime punishable by death, imprisonment for life, or imprisonment for more than 12 months." Still, other states will define felony by reference to the length of sentence and the place the sentence will be served.

Typically, though a sentence of more than one year that will be served in a state or federal prison will be considered a felony. As with misdemeanors, Federal law breaks down classifications for felonies using sentencing guidelines by the amount of prison time.

Answer:

The Declaration of Independence of British Rule

August 2, 1776

The Declaration was signed today by Thomas Jefferson, John Hancock, Benjamin Franklin, and others. A year ago, a revolution had started. The American people want to be free from British rule and their taxes. The Declaration clearly states that we have natural rights that we are born into. The King tried to take away the rights of the people by taking away the right to bear arms and pay unfair taxes. In the Declaration it says, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their Creator, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness." We have certain rights that British rule took from us and that is our "Unalienable rights."
