Answer:
A. Fails to distinguish between violent defendants and one that no longer pose a danger to society.
C. Fails to differentiate between mental illness that are temporary or lifelong conditions.
Explanation:
M'Naghten Rule is an insanity defense used by defendant's attorney to plead defendant not guilty of crime due to mental conditions suffered during the time crime committed.
M'Naghten Rule states that a defendant will be pleaded not guilty only under conditions when it will be proved that the mental condition of defendant was not right at the time when crime was committed and that he/she was not able to discern his/her actions as right or wrong.
The criticism received to the M'Naghten rule is that it fails to distinguish between defendants who pose threat to the society and those who do not pose threat any longer. Another criticism is that it fails to distinguish between mental illness that are temporary or conditions which are lifelong.
Therefore, option A and C are correct.

Answer:
Federal judges are judges who serve in a federal court. The term refers both to the Article III federal judges and to Article I federal judges, who serve as magistrate and bankruptcy judges, and in other Article III tribunals.
Federal judges are nominated by the president of the United States and confirmed by the Senate. The various steps to the process is given below:
- The president nominates an candidate for a judicial seat.
- The candidate fills out a questionnaire which is reviewed by the Senate Judiciary Committee.
- The <em>Senate Judiciary Committee </em>holds a hearing with the candidate, interviewing he or her about things like their judicial philosophy, past rulings or opinions, and ideas about certain areas of Law;
- As part of this process, the committee sends a blue slip to senators from the home state in which the judicial election was received, allowing them to indicate whether or not they approve of the candidate
4. After the hearing, the Senate Judiciary Committee will vote to approve or return the candidate;
- If approved, the candidate is voted on by the full Senate.
- If the Committee votes to return the candidate to the president, the president has the opportunity to re-nominate the individual.
5. The Senate holds a vote on the candidate.
- If the Senate confirms the nomination, the nominee receives a commission to serve a lifelong position as a Federal Judge.
- If the Senate does not confirm the nomination, that candidate does not become a judge.

Answer: False
Explanation:
The statement that "Under the US structure and operation of government each state can make, enforce and intrepret its own laws even if the laws are inconsistent with another state's laws or federal law" is false.
Even though state governments have the right to prescribe certain policy on education, taxation, commerce etc, it should be noted that such laws should not contradict the federal laws.
According to the Constitution of the United States, the federal law is being regarded as the supreme law and no.other state can contradict what it says.
