Misdemeanors are serious offenses punishable by imprisonment for one year or more, often involving violence or significant harm to society.

Question

true or false

Answer 1

False. Misdemeanors are generally less serious offenses than felonies and are usually punishable by imprisonment for less than one year, often involving lower-level offenses or minor harm to society. Felonies, on the other hand, are the serious offenses that can result in imprisonment for one year or more.
