Best Answer

Active immunity is when a person in a trial says they do not want to testify because their truthfulness might incriminate them. Passive immunity is when an order might be handed down by an elected official that says a certain group of people will not be responsible for upholding a certain law. Amnesty laws are a type of passive immunity.
