Conspiracy is a crime that involves an agreement between two or more people to commit a crime or to achieve some unlawful purpose. It is generally punishable as a separate offense from the crime that was the subject of the conspiracy.

In order to prove that an individual is guilty of conspiracy, the prosecution must show that the accused entered into an agreement with at least one other person to commit a crime or to achieve some unlawful purpose, and that the accused took some overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy. It is important to note that an accused person can be charged with conspiracy even if they did not personally commit the underlying crime – they can still be found guilty if they participated in the planning or execution of the crime in any way.

Contempt is a broad legal term that refers to disobedience or disrespect for the authority of a court or other legal forum. It can take many forms, including failing to appear in court as required, disobeying a court order, or disrupting proceedings. Contempt can be punished in various ways, including fines, imprisonment, or other penalties.

There are two main types of contempt: civil contempt and criminal contempt. Civil contempt is used to coerce compliance with a court order or to compensate someone for damages resulting from noncompliance. Criminal contempt, on the other hand, is used to punish misconduct that disrupts the administration of justice or undermines the authority of the court.
