agreed for polygamy, and i think because manslaughter is a lesser crime

the law of homicide says that murder requires the prior intent to kill, or the knowledge that one's actions may lead to death. manslaughter doesnt have prior intent. bigamy is the unlawful act of having two or more wives or husbands at the same time, usually with the second not knowing about the first. polygamy is the practice of having multiple wives based on religious beliefs, with all wives aware of, and agreeable to, the husband having several wives

soliciting doesnt count? shopping = soliciting if hanging = loitering.
Quizmaster replies:

Good quiz, but as a paralegal for the prosecutor's office I have some revisions for you. Homicide is not a crime, homicide is simply the killing of one human by another and isn't necessarily a crime(i.e. self defense). Murder is the crime so you might switch those 2. Have the clue be "intentional homicide" and the answer murder. "Physical assault" makes no sense from a real, legal sense. Assault is in its nature not physical. It is threatening physical harm or attempting and failing but it's not physical. Assault is completely separate from battery. Most states' statutes would call battery offensive or forceful touching. Simony is actually not the act of selling positions or sacraments in the church, rather the act of buying them. Any other revisions I'd REALLY be nit picking. Enjoyed it!

no, polygamy should not be an acceptable answer along with bigamy. while polygamy is the act of having one spouse, (which IS illegal) when a polygamist family is charged, they aren't charged with "polygamy". the husband (or wife, if she has more than one husband) is charged with multiple counts of bigamy. more specifically, one count of bigamy for each wife he has after the first (legal) wife. for example, if a man had 4 wives and was brought up on charges, he would be charged with 3 counts of bigamy...not ONE count of polygamy. this is mainly because "polygamy" is not a legal term.
