Were the powers of a magistrate limited or unlimited and why?
What country? What time period?Without further specification, we cannot answer this question accurately. "Were" can be interpreted in many ways.What I can account for is that, currently, in the United States, the powers of a Magistrate are limited. A Magistrate in the U.S is similar to a judge; however, the magistrate does not have the power to convict or hold a standard trial.The reasoning behind this is that a traditional judge is required to possess a Juris Doctorate, and have a high understanding of law, while a magistrate can be an ordinary citizen.

Why we go to magistrate?
It depends on the country and what kind of magistrate. In the US, a magistrate can refer to two different things. They can be a civil magistrate. For small claims court, the civil magistrate acts as the "judge." In civil court, the civil magistrate files the case for the judge, if I'm not mistaken. For criminal court, the magistrate is the one whom charges are filed with. What happens next depends on the type of crime. If it is a misdemeanor, the magistrate passes control to a prosecutor (often an assistant district attorney). If it is a felony, the magistrate passes control to the grand jury. The magistrate also decides the bail and custody arrangements until a judge decides otherwise.
