Final answer:

The three levels of the judiciary in the US, federal agencies' rulemaking and prosecution powers, and the distinction between criminal and civil law.


Explanation:

The three levels of the judiciary in the United States are:

  1. Supreme Court: The highest court in the US federal judiciary.
  2. Appellate Courts: Intermediate level courts that hear appeals from the trial courts.
  3. Trial Courts: Also known as district courts, they are the entry point for most federal cases.

Federal agencies can make their own rules through a process called rulemaking and enforce these rules through prosecution. They can prosecute violators through administrative proceedings or refer cases to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution.

The major distinction between criminal and civil law is: Criminal law deals with cases where an individual is accused of committing a crime against society, resulting in penalties like imprisonment, fines, or probation. Civil law, on the other hand, involves disputes between individuals or organizations and aims to provide remedies like compensation or specific performance.
