First degree murder is a murder which is planned and deliberate, contracted, committed against an identified peace officer, while committing or attempting to commit one of the following offenses (hijacking an aircraft, sexual assault, sexual assault with a weapon, aggravated sexual assault, kidnapping and forcible confinement or hostage taking), while committing criminal harassment, committed during terrorist activity, while using explosives in association with a criminal organization, or while committing intimidation. Second degree murder is all murder which is not first degree murder. an intentional killing that is not premeditated or planned, nor committed in a reasonable "heat of passion" or 2) a killing caused by dangerous conduct and the offender's obvious lack of concern for human life.

There is not a uniform answer to this question because first degree murder did not exist at common law. Moreover, you did not provide what state you are in so we cannot give you the exact answer you seek. Generally, first degree murder is a second degree murder with some aggravating circumstance that is specifically proscribed by a statute. Again, this could vary by state, but common aggravating circumstance are: 1) premeditation and 2) a death that occurs during the commission of highly dangerous felonies like arson. Second degree murder is a killing committed with malice aforethought. Malice aforethought means: 1) the intent to kill or 2) the intent to cause severe bodily harm. Also, you can be charged with murder for a killing that occurs during the commission of an inherently dangerous felony, regardless of you intent.

First Degree is premeditated. Second Degree is spur-of-the-moment. Anger inspired. Third Degree is accidental.
