Questions: 1. Which of the following cases would be heard in a municipal court? a person who has been arrested for playing their music loudly at 2:00 a.m. a murder case a teen caught texting while driving a state government challenging a new federal law

The answer is: a person who has been arrested for playing their music loudly at 2:00 a.m.

Municipal courts typically handle cases involving violations of city ordinances, minor criminal offenses, and traffic violations. Playing music loudly at 2:00 a.m. would likely be considered a disturbance of the peace or a violation of a noise ordinance, which falls under the jurisdiction of a municipal court.

Murder is a serious criminal offense and would be heard in a higher court, such as a state or federal court, depending on the circumstances. Municipal courts do not handle felony cases like murder.

While this is a traffic violation, which municipal courts often handle, the question specifies which case would be heard in a municipal court. The noise violation is more directly associated with municipal court jurisdiction.

This type of case involves constitutional or federal law issues and would be heard in a federal court, not a municipal court.
