Answer 2

The first alternative is correct (A).

An appellate court is one that re-judges the judgments stipulated by lower courts. This is a way of diminishing the chance of a process containing vices, that is, of some disproportionate or partial penalty. This is a way of ensuring the broad legal process for all American citizens. If the citizen did not agree to the sentence, he can appeal to the courts of appeal.

Courts of appeal exist at federal or state level, but the object of both is the same: to reaffirm or change the penalties stipulated by lower courts.
