Answer: True

Explanation:

From 1790 to 1950, census takers determined the race of the Americans they counted, sometimes taking into account how individuals were perceived in their community or using rules based on their share of “black blood.” Americans who were of multiracial ancestry were either counted in a single race or classified into categories that mainly consisted of gradations of black and white, such as mulattoes, who were tabulated with the non-white population. Beginning in 1960, Americans could choose their own race. Since 2000, they have had the option to identify with more than one.

Lapatulllka [165]

<u>Discretion</u> refers to the use of personal judgment by police officers, prosecutors, judges, and other criminal justice system officials regarding whether and how to proceed in a given situation.​

<u>Explanation:</u>

Discretion is the use of personal judgement in criminal cases against offenders. Discretion is viewed as either positively or negatively in case of law. Discretion is practiced at all levels of jurisdiction.

For instance, a judge may use discretion to consider specific evidence or exclude it from trial. Likewise, the police have the power to enforce laws and in some cases are lenient enough to let an offender go. This is where discretion is considered to have a negative impact.
