Relatively few offenders break federal criminal laws compared to the large numbers who break state criminal laws true or false?

Hmmm. Define the word "relatively." I would definitely say that the statement, "NUMERICALLY fewer persons break Federal Laws than state laws," would be more accurate. To use 'relatively,' would imply a ratio was available to which to refer. There are more people in the 50 states and territories who are subject to FAR more municipal, county and state statutes than are codified in the various Federal Criminal and Civil Codes. More local laws to break - equal - more local lawbreakers.
