Explanation:

Question 1

The Judicial Branch (specifically the Supreme Court) has jurisdiction over disputes between states (per Article III of the US Constitution). Local theft, neighbor disputes, and local traffic violations are handled by state or local courts, not the federal judicial branch for jurisdiction over state - state disputes.

Constitutional Court judges (like US Supreme Court justices) have lifetime appointments (unless they resign/retire) and can only be removed via impeachment. The President can't fire them, they don't have 10 - year term limits, and their salaries can't be reduced.

Answer:

A. A disagreement between two states.
