AlekseyPX

The first alternative is correct (A).

<u>An appellate court is one that re-judges the judgments stipulated by lower courts. </u>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.
