Jurisdiction determines who has the authority to enforce the statutes/laws. If a person breaks a federal law, the federal government is said to have jurisdiction and the federal government will prosecute that person. If a person breaks a state law, the state or county where the law was broken is said to have jurisdiction and they will prosecute that person.
