Answer 2

Impeach means to question the validity of something such as a practice. For example, Presidents can be impeached. This means that their practice is being questioned, and they can be removed from their position due to this.

Misdemeanor is a wrongdoing that is minor. The wrongdoing is not extreme enough to be criminal. For example, say a hockey player breaks one of the rules, and he gets penalized. Whatever he did is considered a misdemeanor, because it is minor and not criminal.

Bribery is giving or offering a bribe. A bribe is something that could lure one into submission. For example, there is much talk of people bribing law enforcement or politicians. What they are doing is offering them something that they think they will be interested in, in order to get their way. Bribery is the action of this.

Treason is when one betrays their country. You often can find it in books that contain a setting that is found around the medieval times. One can be convicted of treason, meaning that they did something that goes against their country. As far as good examples, it depends on who you are and what you consider treason.
