The difference between general and limited jurisdiction is related to the subject matter of the cases that the courts can decide. A court with general jurisdiction has the authority to hear a wide range of cases, while a court with limited jurisdiction can only hear cases that fall within specific categories or limits. The other options listed are not accurate descriptions of the difference between general and limited jurisdiction.
