question 37 (mandatory) (1 point)
law may be broken down according to certain types of classifications. which of the following is not one of these classifications?
a) felonies and misdemeanors
b) tort crimes and civil crimes
c) mala in se and mala prohibita
d) civil law and criminal law

Explanation:

• Option A: Felonies and misdemeanors are classifications within criminal law based on the severity of the offense.
• Option B: Torts are civil wrongs (not “tort crimes”). Civil law deals with disputes between private parties, and criminal law deals with offenses against the state. There is no “tort crimes” classification.
• Option C: Mala in se (wrong in itself, like murder) and mala prohibita (wrong because prohibited by law, like some traffic violations) are valid legal classifications.
• Option D: Civil law (e.g., contract disputes) and criminal law (e.g., theft prosecution) are fundamental legal classifications.

Answer:

B. Tort crimes and civil crimes
