Answer 1

I believe 1 is "A" and 2 is "B."

Answer 2

The correct answer would be D, "a marriage cerimony", the Justice of the Peace is allowed to perform marriage ceremonies and solemnize civil unions for same-sex couples.

The correct aswer would be B, "it makes the judges answer to the people." Elected judges are more likely to make decisions trying to do the best for the people that elect them, instead of political decisions that might go against the public needs in order to keep their positions.
