One provided limited daytime police services, and the other patrolled after dark?

• A. Constable-Nightwatch System
• B. Constable
• C. Frankpledge System
• D. Special-Jurisdiction Police

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is the two-tier early policing arrangement in which daytime order was handled by parish constables who provided limited services, while a separate night patrol—the nightwatch—took to the streets after dark. This combination is known as the Constable–Nightwatch System, reflecting how duties were divided by time of day. The nightwatch existed specifically to patrol after dark, complementing the daytime constable’s more limited role.

The Frankpledge System, by contrast, centers on mutual accountability within households and groups rather than a formal split between day and night policing. A plain Constable doesn't capture the nighttime patrol aspect, and Special-Jurisdiction Police refers to more modern, specialized agencies, not an ancient day-versus-night policing structure.
